Alliteration

Poem I created for the upcoming unit on Alliteration. It's for elementary kids but maybe it will make you smile!


Alphabetic Feast
I’ll tell you about a food festival
With awesome apple-artichoke appetizers,
Burned black bean banana bread,
Cold, crisp cantaloupe cups,
And dreamy diced dairy desserts.
Where everyone eats everything:
Frozen, fried, or French,
Great, gross, or greasy
Hearty, Healthy, or Heterogeneous.
Interesting Icelandic icicles,
Juicy jams in jars
And Kingly kelp kites,
Light up in lengthy lines
Making more of a meaningful mood.
Nobody nears noontime without
Oranges over orzo.
People pick pieces of
Rugged roasted rutabaga
Swimming in salty soup.
Time ticks quickly towards
Understanding an unbelievable universe of food.
Very vocal visitors
Wind up winning Wednesday’s work which is
Xeroxing zany xylophones drawings
For yellow menus of yummy yams.
At the end, zany zinc zebras hand out zero mints.
