what lines show alliterations in the poem "Fable for when there's no way out"
2 answers
Alliteration occurs when consonants are repeated, usually at the beginnings of successive words. Here is an example:
"... rifles' rapid rattle ... "
Let us know what you find:
Fable for When there's No Way Out..
grown too big for his skin,
and it grow hard
his strength's inside him
how but there's no room to strecth.
he pecks at the top
but his beaks too soft:
though instinct and ambition
shoves he can't get through
barley old enough to bleed
and already bruised!
in a case this tough what's the use
if you break your head instead of the lid?
despair tempts him to just fo limp;
maybe the cells already a tomb
and begining end in this round room.
still stupidly he pecks and pecks as if from under
his own skull yet makes no crack
and kicks and stomps
what a thrill
and snock to feel
his little gaff poke
through the floor
a way he hadn't known or meant.
rage works if reason won't
when locked up, bear down
Gaff; a hook attached to a handle.
