ALLITERATION
There is no clutter cluttered up more closely, I presume, than the clutter clustered clingingly in my friend, Betty's room.
Her mother mutters mawkishly and fills her with such dread.
She mutters on about the muss that messes Betty's bed.
At bedtime, Betty bounces all her objects to the floor.
Each morning, when she wakes up, they go on her bed once more. BY UNKNOWN
HANDWRITTEN
Broken hearted and so sad Big blue eyes all covered with tears Was a picture of sorrow to see Kneeling close to the side Of his pal and only pride A little lad, these words he told me He was such a lovely doggy And to me he was such fun But today as we played by the way A drunken man got mad at him Because he barked in joy He beat him and he's dying here today.

LYRICAL POEM
Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confiding,
I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry

in using them in everyday communication. It is that level of comfort which nurtures interest over fear in tackling the reading, writing or discussion of literary works.
