An easier (?) challenge for the holiday period.
Write an alliterative paragraph or two. The only rule is that all the words in each sentence must begin with the same letter. No stray conjunctions, personal pronouns or whatever - just strict alliteration. Oh, and the piece should more or less make sense. My effort:
Evidently everybody eagerly eats eggs. Beggars belief beyond boundaries. Perhaps pernicious promoters pathetically pretend. They try to tempt timid tasters to teatime toast treats. Sickly sad, surely. Eggs escalate enemy elements. Chilling, crucial cholesterol crises come cruelly. Blood becomes bulky. Hardworking hearts hurt hatefully, hastening horrific, hellish harm. Chucky-eggs carelessly consumed can create cholesterol crazily. Eat eggs? We with wisdom want wonderful wheat.
-
Richard that's great! Although it has destroyed my belief that eggs are good for you. But then I suppose if you ate nothing else....
Anyway, an impressive demo.

I take it you decided not to post the easier challenge?
As Katie said, an impressive demo. I'm off to have a go - I may be some time!

Wierd Writewords writers wrestle wondrous wrangles with words. Heads hurt - hard, hurried hours,
hearing heightened holistic homilies. Prolific pendanticists pour profundities pensively. Shocked
subscribers sigh "such superb soliloquies" - seemingly so simple, so sincere. Agents agonise, and afterwards
accept all authors, aghast at accumulating acumen.

Absolutely awesome, Agnieszka!
Right. That's my alliterative bolt shot...

Guess it doesn't count, huh?

Well, well Agnieszka! Hidden depths. Most impressed!
I wonder who will come up with the longest alliterative sentence that makes sense...

Christmas comes choking chubby children chocolate covered creating chaos.
Somwhere, Sudan ,Somalia? starving skeletons stay silent, smoke seeps, skeletons smoulder someone shudders shamefully,stunned, stupified. Helpless hopeless. how has humanity helped.
Christmas cold, children choke coughing creating corpses, careless cold countries cry crocodile crystals christmas charity collapses.

Here my festive attempt:
Daybreak dangles delicately, dismissing divine darkness. Surreal shimmering snowflakes settle softly, sweetly silent. Wondrous woebegone wintergreens, whitened with woolly watercolours, wait with watchful wisdom, whining when wet wintry winds whip wildly.
Suddenly, slung snowballs sail swiftly, slapping silky skin. Open-eyed, onlookers observe opposites obeying orders. Fresh faced friends fight fiercely. Yuletide youths yell “Yippee!” Laughter lingers, liberating losers lovingly. Hero’s hobble home, hopeful, happy, hungry.
-
Bloody brilliant!
Note that this offering is - I think - one word shorter than Dee's.
But seriously, haunted, bloody briliant!
I think we have uncovered another talent here!
Regards
John

Some fantastic stuff coming out of this one.
Great idea Richard!
And congrats to those who managed to come up with some beautiful and evocative writing.

Wow! Such inventiveness! I loved the three part structure of Olebut's effort with the repeat of the opening letter. Is there a new form in the making here? An ACE piece or an SOS or somesuch?
I'm going to be away for a while over the festive (?) period.I'll look forward to seeing more masterpieces when I get back.
Richard.

'Tis time to talk twaddle.
"Could canaries cuddle crouching covertly". Such silly sentences should somehow seem serious. But bookish boffins believe basic babble bastardises balderdash, banally. We wordsmiths wonder, when we wake, what wondrous words we will write. Well.... why worry ? We wrestle wilting wretchedly. No need now!Just joyfully jubilate. Happy Holidays!
