    The greatest example of Alliteration is the poem "The Siege of Belgrade", in which it goes through the Alphabet with every line using the first letters of words several times.

    Example:
    "An Austrian army, awfully arrayed
    Boldly by battery besieged Belgrade
    Cossack commanders cannonading come
    Dealing destruction's devastating doom

    (And so on through every letter of the alphabet)

    The siege of Belgrade was an actual historical event, occurring several times in different wars.
    (The administrator may wish to place this in a more appropriate category)

    There is a game here called "4 Words , Same Letter. " .. who knew there was a name for it,, Alliteration.
    We should rename it the "Alliteration Game".

    A bat can dodge every falling granule he intercepts, just keeping lightly moving, not only pushing quietly, rather speeding toward unexpectedly violent windstorms, xeric, yet zapping.

    That sounds like Mono-Alliteration!
