Alliteration poems tend to be tongue twisters. They are written for the fun they bring when they are read. Lets see more poems with alliteration.

Sitting slightly sideways; Slipping swiftly see them skid On holidays and Fridays.

A fly and a flea flew up in a flue. Said the fly to the flea, “What shall we do?” “Let’s fly,” said the flea. “Let’s flee,” said the fly. So they fluttered and flew up a flaw in the flue.

14 More Tongue Twisters “Night, night, Knight”, said one Knight
to the other knight the other night. “Night, night, Knight.”

15 Super Tongue Twister! Esau Wood sawed wood. Esau Wood would saw wood. Oh, the wood that Wood would saw! One day Esau Wood saw a saw saw wood as no other woodsaw Wood ever saw would saw wood. Of all the woodsaws Wood ever saw saw wood, Wood never saw a woodsaw that would saw wood like the woodsaw Wood saw would saw wood. Now Esau Wood saws with that saw he saw saw wood.

16 Poems with Alliteration on the Internet
Now let’s venture into the following websites to search for alliteration poems.

17 What is Rhythm? Any poem has the chance of having rhythm.
A poem has rhythm if the reader of the poem gives the poem rhythm. For a poem to have rhythm, it has to be read following a pattern with its syllables. For example: da, da, dadada da da, da, da, dadada da da, da, da, dadada da da, da, da, dadada da da.

18 Example of Rhythm Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and of all the king’s horses and all of the King’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again.

19 Practice Your Rhythm Clankity Clankity Clankity Clank!
Ankylosaurus was built like a tank, Its hide was a fortress as sturdy as steel, It tended to be an inedible meal. It was armored in front, it was armored behind, There wasn’t a thing on its minuscule mind, It waddled about on its four stubby legs, Nibbling on plants with a mouthful of pegs. Ankylosaurus was best left alone, Its tail was a cudgel of gristle and bone, Ankylosaurus was built like a tank. By: Jack Prelutsky

20 More Rhythm Practice Iguanodon, Iguanodon, Whatever made you fade,
You’ve traveled on, Iguanodon, We wish you could have stayed. We’ve sought you everywhere, Both here and yon, Iguanodon, But failed to find you there. You were a gentle kind, But now you’re gone, Iguanodon, And left your bones behind. By: Jack Prelutsky
