Comment from Juliette Chamberlain
The sweet little story is suffused with striking alliteration.
Little Lilly left lonely, looks for a distraction.
As she guides her pen under the giant oak, she spots a spider, a snail, and some little songsters building nests.
Later, after mummy softly sings her a song she slips off to slumber.
Good use of alliteratin for the story.

Juliette,
I am so glad that you enjoyed my attempt. Wasn't sure if I had it right or not but others seem to enjoy and I guess that's all I can ask for...Thanks...Carol

Comment from Belinda
Hey... master of words, you can write a dozen of nature poems. alliterative ones too, with the words you've collected for this story of Lonely Little Lilly... Clever Carol creations are always creative. How's that?

Carol,
You did a terrific job on your story with alliteration. An excellent children's story about Lonely Little Lilly. Excellent descriptive writing. I love the alliteration from these lines:
woefully wandered around wondering
petulantly pondering
tantalizing topic
would wistfully wile
mundane morning
Nothing, not a note
fancy flowers flouncing
Your story had lovely imagery. The art work you used is cute. Pat yourself on the back for a wonderfully written story. An excellent entry in the contest.

You did a great job. I use alliteration in most of my poetry. Here's a line from my latest poem I posted:
'Where daisies dally and daffodils dwell.'

Well, that's more like what I've come to expect from you. Sorry to hear about the loss, makes things difficult. I know I posted on Monday, after being out most of the day promoting my new book, Quicksilver, by Joy Spraycar, if you're interested you can check it out at Amazon.com. Anyway, I was tired and my chapter showed it. I love reading your stuff, sorry if I was hard on you. My thoughts and prayer are with you during this difficult time. Your friend, Joy

Joy,
I received news that the children's grandmother (my ex-husband's mother) had died. Instead of proofing, I posted so I could talk to them. Thank you for taking the time to find my errors...I've corrected all of it I think. I should have known better especially since I was having such a difficult time with it in the first place. Thanks again. smiles, Carol
Comment from Sasha
I don't now if this is correct either, but I don't care. It is an absolutely delightful, charming, and fun story to read. I got so caught up in it I stopped looking for the repetition. I read it twice, and as far as I can tell you did a very good job. Great entry for the contest (as far as I can tell) and I sincerely wish you all the best.

Comment from --Turtle.
Odd prompt. Kind of makes things distracting I think, but the story was cute. I think it seems like you might be trying to do doubles and triples of the pattern, that seems to fit, though I'm no expert on alliteration. I tried to compare, to me it looked right, but I'm not certain.
Good luck with this, you are braver than I to try!

Turtle,
I had no idea whether I had wasted my time attempting or if I had got it right...I held my breath until the first review...Doesn't appear to be how I would want to write a story again though. Smiles, Carol
Comment from BethShelby
I think you did a great job with the alliteration. I like the sound of it. It sort of makes prose sound like poetry. The picture must have insprited the cute story.
careened out of site ( out of sight) I think.

Beth, Actually I struggled with the story and when I searched for a picture, I found this one. It was easy to go back in and add a red dress and shoes and the last line about the Teddy Bear. Thanks so much for relieving my mind...I had no idea whether this was right or not. smiles, Carol
