Write something in the style of Beowulf.
Here's something silly to get the ball rolling. Don't quite know what I'm doing, but I think I've got two half-lines of two stresses each, and three stressed alliterations per line. ("spears" alliterates with "swords," right?) I'm sure you'll let me know if I'm doing it wrong.
Middle-earth men,...mail-shirted males
in horned helmets...and heavy breastplates,
sporting spears...and brandishing swords,
take a break...from bragging and brawling,
and let us ladies...loot your booty.
Extra points for kennings.
