An Ode to Alliteration

Alliteration is annoying!

Always attacking a lot of amounts of time,

always making authors anxious,

and ALWAYS,

all the time,

annoying and aggravating,

a lot of English students.

Haha, I see what you did there.
I hate it too. i don't really see the point of it.

But you know, if you wanted to make yourself more clear, I would choose to alliterate with a letter that isn't a vowel. Vowels are tricky.
I know you wanted to alliterate with 'alliteration', but
1. You might think about accumulating more 'A' words so that the flow of this poem could be smoother
2. chronological words that all start with different vowels often sound alliterated anyway. don't think of it as that they are different letters. Think of it as the fact that all those words lack consonants, giving them a starting sound that appears similar to the ear.
I hope that makes sense... If it isn't, that's completely my fault.
I love the gist of this poem...very ironic.

P.S. I love your profile picture. I'm not a big Percy Jackson fan (at all, really), but Viria's (the person who drew that pic's) art really amazes me.

Hello.
I don't know if this would count as a review.... but, I am going to try.

Hmm.. seems like you have a problem with alliteration. Is that what they are teaching you in class right now?

I love the way you expressed yourself in this poem.
You were passionate about a certain subject, even though the subject was something you disliked.
You expressed your true anger towards the subject, which is a great aspect when it comes to poems.

Anyways, if you need help in this subject, let me know. I could probably assist you with it, since I am majoring in Journalism in college after all c:

Good luck!

This was a poem I wrote a while ago having to write about Alliteration in English. I was having trouble figuring it out and this was the answer.
