====Alliterative poetry====
The older, more native tradition is poems with rhythmic alliteration.
# the beginning syllables of sub-lines, e.g. in the pattern a ... | a ...
# syllables within lines or sub-lines, e.g. a _ a _ ‖ b _ b _ ‖ c _ c _ ‖ d _ d _
# the above two may be combined, e.g. a _ a ... | b _ b ... ‖ b _ b ... | c _ c ... ‖ c _ c ... | d _ d ...
Non-traditional alliteration schemes are used in modern poetry and in whimsical, quasi-Hofstadterian "riddle poems".
