Alliteration poems about love?

Answer 1

"I Knew A Woman" by Theodore Roethke

I knew a woman, lovely in her bones,
When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;
Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:
The shapes a bright container can contain!
Of her choice virtues only gods should speak,
Or English poets who grew up on Greek
(I'd have them sing in chorus, cheek to cheek.)

How well her wishes went! She stroked my chin,
She taught me Turn, and Counter-turn, and stand;
She taught me Touch, that undulant white skin:
I nibbled meekly from her proffered hand;
She was the sickle; I, poor I, the rake,
Coming behind her for her pretty sake
(But what prodigious mowing did we make.)

Love likes a gander, and adores a goose:
Her full lips pursed, the errant note to seize;
She played it quick, she played it light and loose;
My eyes, they dazzled at her flowing knees;
Her several parts could keep a pure repose,
Or one hip quiver with a mobile nose
(She moved in circles, and those circles moved.)

Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay:
I'm martyr to a motion not my own;
What's freedom for? To know eternity.
I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.
But who would count eternity in days?
These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:
(I measure time by how a body sways.)

Answer 4

Alliteration refers to lines in a poem that have words starting with the same letter...Winter is wonderful, for instance, and brisk but beautiful, falls furiously out of the foggy skies. So yes, you have some alliteration, and in my opinion, a nice amount. It would sound goofy if there was a lot of it.

Alliterative poems in English are mostly in OLD English (Anglo-Saxon--before the Norman Conquest). Love poetry wasn't the thing then, but two you could look at are "The Wife's Lament" and "Wulf and Eadwacer." (You should be able to find translations into Modern English online.) During the Alliterative Revival (second half of the fourteenth century, contemporary with Chaucer), most poems were long narratives. The outstanding one of the movement, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, deals in a way with courtly love, but I don't think it's what you're looking for (although it's definitely worth reading just for the experience!). There's one alliterative lyric called "Alisoun" (or "Alison")that might meet your need, however. It's actually from the thirteenth century, before the Revival, but it's alliterative: http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/poem-z1.html

Just don't confuse this Alison, whoever she was, with either of those in the Canterbury Tales!

Answer 6

i fancied the free franticness of him
he heavly handed my hips to him
he senually sweetly swayed with me
kisses cant touch what i feel about him
i live for his love. life is love isnt it
