Corinne Bortnik 🎯 Where Haiku And Awesome Alliteration Meet

A haiku written in alliteration?
Of course, my goal here is to have fun and brighten your day with "h-alliteration."

What is alliteration?

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of words in close proximity to each other (e.g., “whispering winds,” “busy bee”). Alliteration gives a rhythmic and almost musical quality to words that makes them more engaging, memorable, and impactful.

 "Alliteration is alarmingly addictive."  ---  Tamara Ireland Stone



During January, I continued to give away "paint chip haiku cards" to women who I met in my day-to-day life.

Find out more about my project here:



I challenged myself to capture the essence of winter in a haiku using alliteration.

And when women received this "h-alliteration," many read it aloud and we had a good laugh about it.



Whenever I give a lady one of these cards, I first ask, "what is your favorite color?"

And here are the number of times each color was chosen in January:

Blue        32      🏆
Pink        26
Green      13
Purple     12
Red           9
Yellow      5
Orange     4
Grey         2
Neutral     2

TOTAL = 105
