Alliteration is awesome

Alliteration is a-okay, I say. It’s a writing technique that goes back centuries in languages, especially by poets, philosophers, storytellers and authors (particularly authors of children’s stories). Today, it remains as popular as ever, popping up in poetry, speeches, music, greeting cards, children’s stories, and advertising.

Here are some examples of alliteration by yours truly:

Abolish antipathy and advance ambition.

Bigger is Better? BS.

Carefully consider culling combative customers.

Daring dancers dig deep, dismiss doubters.

Have you written an alliterative headline, slogan or poem? Post it in Comments or provide a link.
