This is a tough competition, indeed. I completely got your write, though, and feel that way sometimes too, lol. With line six wrapping around to line seven to complete the phrase or thought it was disruptive to the flow of the write, but all the requirements were still met for your entry. Thank you for promoting your work!

A very well-written rhyming alliteration. If we don't take changes we will never know if we could win or get somewhere we would like to be. Each day is a challenge and a learning experience.

You have a fun theme... the contest. Excellent form and execution of this for type of poetry. This is new to me and I think you met the challenge beautifully. The 7x7 has a flowing quality that keeps us engaged. Well done.

Thank you for your lighthearted response to the prompt. I enjoyed your use of alliteration, regular lines and rhymes. I appreciated your reinforcing picture selection as well. Despite your prediction, best wishes in the competition- Joan

everyone else is not alliteration since it's repetition of the consonant sound, I believe.
Aside from that, you expressed my feelings about contests as well. Good luck. I'll now check out others. LOL/

    Actually, alliteration covers consonance and assonance initial sounds. There is also unvoiced alliteration where the letters match but not their sound. pteradactyl (with T or P) and
    gnome (N and G) are examples.

Hey, you never know unless you try, Anonymous Poet.
It is always hard to gauge what will appeal to readers and potential voters here and what will not. It never seems to work out like you've planned.
Best of luck to you with this fine entry.

Nice, great job on this alteration winning is hard to do on here with so many out standing writers on here. I've lucked out on a couple contests in the past. Nicely done on the rhyming and meter is good. best of luck, have a wonderful day

This is a good entry in the contest, Mystery Author, Your lines flow well and rhyme as required. However, the alliterisen is missing in line 1. I don't believe rapidly/writing will pass the judges. Maybe they sound alike but are written differently. Best wishes. Jan

    Alliteration is sound over lettering, Jan. If the judges disagree, they're incorrect.

    Example: Jose joined the hunt. According to the ressoning you are employing, Jose is alliterative with joint, but not hunt. That doesn't seem right.
