This is  a form created by Udit Bhatia.

 It is a simple seven-lined poem with a specific syllable pattern and two alliterations per line. For example: Glorious Graves, and wonderful waves. 

Alliteration is the succession of similar consonant sounds. They are not recognized by spelling, but rather by sounds. 

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

(x being the number of syllables you choose for your first line)
