Let’s Co-Create Alliterations

Alliteration is a powerful tool that has been used in writing and public speaking to bring an even stronger emphasis to a message.

In one of the seminal speeches, Martin Luther King, Jr. skillfully used a letter-C alliteration at the conclusion of the sentence: “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of the character.”

Alliteration is a repetition of the same letter (for example, “content creators”) or the same sound (for example, “quiet character” — both start with a sound [k]) across adjacent or closely positioned words.

Let’s co-create some alliterations! Please suggest your alliterations both for missing letters below and for any letter that I already started. Please post in responses and I will include your alliteration and reference your name/link.
