Alliteration 2.0
Alliteration seems to be trendy right now, so here's something a little more complex. Write a poem with 3 stanzas or more, each stanza with a different letter theme and each major word within the stanza starting with that letter. If you want to get really fancy, make it an acrostic poem with each stanza's letter spelling out a word. Hope that makes sense! (note: minor words such as articles, prepositions, and conjunctions don't have to start with the same letter as the rest of the stanza). See my entry below for an example. :)

here it phlows

Here’s how hell happened,

hard headed hapless humans having had homes havocked, having had hearts hurtled, hence heads hurt-ridden 'hind hoddies have hidden

Individuals ingrained in -isms incorporated insidious indifference, innocence is illusion implicit illegal industry inevitably intrinsic,

is it over?

indeed it isn’t

Putting poor people past putrid prisons perhaps paying policemen produces profit, pompous power plainly prejudges politricks playing pity plunder

Hear the heckler’s hateful hoaxes hard to hope he heeds the homeless, hasn’t happened so have to hustle have to have it, hooks as hard as heroin-addicts

Overdosed on overly-verbose oxytocins obdurate oracles operate onward, ones own opinions overcome omens only offers ‘onesty occasionally ‘omage or ’onour

’Plaude the proud people protesting pillagery and pertain to philosophy of peaceful pugnacity, poignant poetry projected in pictures painted in public -parks -plots and parking places,

penned plainly

phuck phalsehoods and phight for the phuture
