To attempt the Alliterisen poetic style, it is important to be familiar with alliteration first. Alliteration is the repetition of the same letter sound across the start of several words in a sentence. Alliteration provides an element of music to speech, drawing the attention of readers and listeners. It also adds resonance while weaving the idea behind a literary piece. Eg: calm clouds, serene sea

 

Also, it is the sound of the letter and not just the letter which plays a role in an alliteration. For example, “thin thread” is an example of alliteration; however, “tiny thread” is not. Note the difference in sounds in both pairs.

Now coming to the poetic style ALLITERISEN

This is a form created by Udit Bhatia.

1)  It is a simple seven-lined poem with a specific syllable pattern and two pairs of alliterations per line. 

2)  The syllable structure for the Alliterisen is as follows:

1st line- x syllables

2nd line- x+2 syllables

3rd line- x-1 syllables

4th line- (x+2)-1 syllables

5th line- x-2 syllables

6th line- (x+2)-2 syllables

7th line- x syllables

(x being the number of syllables you choose for your first line)
