Day 16 Prompt – ALLITERATED HAIKU
Some poetic devices are perfect for haiku. I believe alliteration
is one of them. So, I pick a consonant and attempt to make every word in my
poem begin with that letter. Certain letters are easier to apply to alliterated
haiku. In my most recent poem I used the letter “s”. If I don’t alliterate
every word in my poem, because I am committed to my work making sense, I may
choose to alliterate just one line or phrase of my haiku. I feel confident alliterating
poems with letters like “m” or even “b”, (bring on the tongue-twisters).
I must admit, I find some letters
quite daunting, so don’t expect any poems from me that include alliteration of those high-value
scrabble letters: Q, X, Z, etc., perhaps if they are parts of the middle of
some words, there is a chance I could make it happen.
"S" is a nice safe letter. I am particularly happy with the one I wrote for Feb. 15th:
