awesome alliteration, Tom. I was not sure when she said to use one alliteration if she meant all the way through or to use at least one in the poem. I think I have three in mine!

Tom Cunningham

August 25, 2020 at 11:55 AM

Thank you Andrea, I thought the same, did she mean a minimum of one or could you do it throughout, her example showed two so I took a chance Tom
