DuckTales
(Complex Alliterisen)
Donald Duck loved chicken chow mein
Glittering Goldie gulped Coca Cola
Daisy Duck downed Krispy Kreme’s
Doofus Drake desired Dunkin Donuts
Glomgold’s greed good as gold
Gyro Gearloose concocts chaos
Gladstone Gander gifted gambler

The Alliterisen (Complex and Rhyming), is a form created by Udit Bhatia, which is a simple seven-lined poem with a specific syllable pattern and two alliterations per line.
Alliteration is the succession of similar consonant sounds. They are not recognized by spelling, but rather by sounds. For example: Glorious Graves, and wonderful waves.
The syllable structure for the Complex Alliterisen is as follows:
1st line- x syllables
2nd line- x+2 syllables
3rd line- x-1 syllables
4th line- (x+2)-1 syllables
5th line- x-2 syllables
6th line- (x+2)-2 syllables
7th line- x syllables
This allows for infinite syllable sequences.
In the above sample, let’s say your first line has eight (8) syllables:
1st line- 8 syllables
2nd line- 10 syllables
3rd line- 7 syllables
4th line- 9 syllables
5th line- 6 syllables
6th line- 8 syllables
7th line- 8 syllables
