By the Water's Edge

Beside a babbling brook I browse By a bridge braving bleak winters breeze Beaver is busily burrowing beneath Before bitter blizzards batter beaver’s bunker Beaver beavering as he barricades the breach Bedtime beckons before darkness befalls, but my Bright my blue backpack bounces into the babbling brook Begetting a bung of blue, Beaver buttresses his breach Bewitched by Beaver’s busyness and bidding him bye bye Before a blizzard begins bouncing big ice balls from the sky Back inside my bungalow beside a burning fire Buoyant my backpack had blocked Beaver’s breach Bedtime was beckoning as I began to fall asleep But beaming - for my backpack had really worked a treat By bunging Beaver's breach beside a babbling brook Burgeoning with self-belief I’ll write a ‘Beaver Bedtime Book’ Written: 1st April 2019 2nd PLACE Contest: Pick A Title, Vol 3 Alliteration - By The Water's Edge | Sponsor: Edward Ibeh 3rd PLACE Contest: CONTEST no 620 in alliteration style,any theme ,any form Sponsor: Brian Strand Contest Name Alliteration 004 Sponsor Poet Destroyer 22nd October 2020

very cute, I chose that same title but did mine totally different. I used tow or three different alliterations too. The sponsor was not too precise on that aspect. I hope I did not mess up (mine is not posted yet) I love how you focused on B's. Mine was primarily S's!
