Carolyn Devonshire Poet Alliteration

Baby Boy Bradley

Mama Mable made music mellow with mood
But baby boy Bradley bellowed and booed
So sensitively she started singing sweetly
Yet the youngster yowled yearningly

Poor perplexed papa peered and pleaded
“No nocturnal nuisances are needed,”
He hurried through the house, his hefty frame hobbled
Baby boy Bradley basked blissfully with his bedtime bottle


*For Constance’s Forms of Poetry 101 contest.  Never tried alliteration before.

Andrea Dietrich August 25, 2010 at 9:19 PM I enjoyed your experimenting with alliteration, Carolyn. I always have felt it's just a natural poetic device, and as a "from" it is exaggerated. but i had find with my exaggeration I did tonight for Linda's contest! Luv, Andrea

Andrea Dietrich August 19, 2010 at 10:31 PM Carolyn, I bet you use alliteration all the time without even realizing it. That's just what poets do!! but this was a really cute application of just really focusing only on alliteration. Congrats on your baby boy!! LUv, Andrea
