Alliteration in Action

The 7th and 8th grade poets from Miss McClain’s class wrote an exercise in alliteration. A commonly used literary device to capture the ear of the reader, see if you can say these tongue twisters five times fast.

Miss McClain 7th and 8th Grade

Untitled by Lexie A.

Lexie likes to look longingly into the little lake, so lenient Lexie leaned then leaped into the little lake, leaving her lethargic lynxes. Lost, like leprechauns’ gold, Lexies’ lynx’s looked high and low. Lacking Lexie, the lynxes longed for lamented Lexie. Lavish lasagna lounges on the lilac picnic blanket with lemonade, lukewarm lobster linguine, and more but it lays untouched by Lexie’s lugubrious lynxes.
