Year 7 Alliteration Poems

This is excellent Ebony,

She likes emus, elephants and eggs,

She is excellent, energetic, eight and extremely eager.

She has eleven noses, eight ears and extreme eagle eyes.

This is Rylee

He likes roaring rhinos that roll around.

He likes to be called the ruler.

He always has a reason for everything.

The nervous Nikita is always nearby, she is noisy, neat, nutty and noble.

She like new Nike shoes, and has notes for the nerdy nurses and nanny's.

She notes that there nagging nincompoop nitwit's, who give her nasty needles which makes her nervous.

This is Mika

She likes munching monkeys,

She likes marshmallows

She’s very mysterious.

She is magnificent

She has majestic hair.

This is Matilda,

She likes mangos, mandarins, meringue and she also magnificently moves to the Macarena.

She meaningfully loves her mum!

She is merry, modern and quite memorable.

Matilda has melodic moves, her mindful personality is majestic and magnetic.

Matilda mingles with many humans and mocks meddling monkeys.

Mindful Matilda meets many messed up merchants. Matilda marched with a moody human and went missing. We will miss the Majestic Matilda.
