Answer #1

eh no thats no alliteration alliteration is where you have more that 2 words next to each other in a sentece for example

“silly sallors saill the seas”

(sometimes you can put things like the inbetween them)

Answer #2

No, that is not alliteration. Alliteration uses the same letter or sound at the beginning of many words in close succession. Nowhere in the verse you listed is alliteration used. A scattering of ‘o’ words does not make for alliteration.

‘’Lisa likes licking Latin lovers’’ is alliteration.
