Poetry Prompt no.4 - Alliteration

Sometimes as a teacher I have to teach outside my disciplinary area. Lately, I have been teaching quite a few English lessons where poetry is the topic. No matter what age I teach, my students seem to really love alliteration, especially when they're given the following prompt:

'Take the first letter of your name and create an alliterative poem about yourself. You should consider humour in your writing'.

Students are given about 15 minutes to come up with a poem, we then go around the room and each student has a go at reading what they have written. Most of the time their poems are hilarious and we all have a good giggle. Oh to have their imagination!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with when using this prompt!

Laughing because of my ADD:

Larry (alliterative acrostic)

Listening to long lasting lectures
allows me to lose the lackluster
rigidity of learning and let myself
rise to levels of intellection
yet to be allotted to my fellows.

Lucero likes lilies like looking silly,
laughing loudly, lightly, lively.
Lucero is lazy, oh crazy,
crazily quiet, quietly silent.
Lucero likes lectures.
Like Larry
likes learning unlimitlessly
Long lasting lessons.

Fun- thank you for the challenge.

Michael (alliterated acrostic)

My mischievous marveling,
ices inventions into
cartwheeling creamed cakes,
heaven honed bakes;
assorted and arranged.
each individual invention invites
language laid out for lounging lizards of light.

Thanks for this...

These have been fun to read, thanks for participating!

Like a mischievous macaw, Mel makes
maple muffins, master's mahjong on mahogany
and marble tabletops, meets many mighty
snakes and marries medusa. Mel
is a mental dreamer and a flamboyant
believer that the more manic these
alliterations get, the more memorable
'm' words she'll never forget.
