Use alliteration on purpose: a soft s for snow, a hard k for a crash. The sound should suit the meaning.

Polpetta's storm poem should use one sound per line. Wild winds whistle. Rain rattles roofs. Thunder bangs overhead. Snow falls gently. Cheerful children chatter. Cold kids cuddle. Lightning flashes brightly. Pets hide under beds.
Four lines work, and one of them only works out loud.

Help Polpetta

Chef Polpetta

My new menu has alliteration! Cheese, cake and carrots. They all start with c, so it is alliteration, no?

Say it out loud, explain why it is not alliteration, then write Polpetta a better menu line.
