Washington waving waists
Waiting
Wanking, winking
Wasps washing wounds
We would welcome weed
Werewolves' weeping well
White whores
Whales whispering, whistling
Whipping wires
Womb's woe, wooden woks
Wraiths worshiping wrath
Wool wrapping worst workers
Who wasted wives?
Wide windowpanes wither whiskey
Watching where's wheat
Wurlitzer's wrists wry
Worthless women
Why?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliteration <- Used this form in this poem. I chose the letter "W", and it was really tough, but I enjoyed it. Another rant for my collection.

Nice use of W, a solid entry. I liked how it has a sort of visually appealing quality.
-
Well...this was a lot of fun to read! You've done an amazing write with a very restrictive vocabulary, well... done!
Here's my favorite line: "Werewolves weeping well" -unique imagery, very savage. Keep your pen to the page and thanks for entering!
-
wow! i've only seen another alliteration poem like this, and it was with the letter 'n.'
somehow i think that 'w' would be more difficult.
-
Wow Very creative nad well done using only the letter 'W'--Very Very impressive!--Well done and best of luck in the contest!
-
I am terribly sorry but I must DQ you for not following the rule of 30 lines or more. I do love the creativity though
-
The end 'stanza' last few lines were powerful - but the flow seems erupted from thought occasionally but in summary - striking.
Thanks for entering,
-
Haha! Yay! I loved this. So funny. And "W" Wow... impressivly uncommon letter. Rock on! Thanks for then entry.
-
WOW!!!! Amazing jobbbb... I never knew there where so many W words in this world....
hehehe...
~wonderful
-
you have just made me understand that ...I hate almost all of the words with w!!!! (except whisky haha)...well penned though there were parts that didn't make much sense i like that. enjoyed the read
-
mm..cool cool. i love alliteration...its amazing when it acaually makes sense though some lines are really good some are just kind of silly because i dont know what it means. If you like alliteration then read my poem called Smile Summer Sunshine...anywho good job i liked it =]
<3 keep it up
-
it sounds like it was tough to do... and it kinda shows.... some parts don't make a whole hell of a lotta sense.... but i guess that's life. interesting read though. i love the "womb's woe". that was nicely pit toghether. good luck.
