About this challenge

The Prompt

Write a poem where every word starts with the same letter.

A tautogram is basically a fancy term for a word game where every word starts with the same letter or sound. It's like alliteration, but taken to the extreme! It can be a fun way to play with language and create a memorable effect in writing or speech, as well as an effective way to challenge yourself as a writer.

In order to qualify as a tautogram, your submission must meet the following requirements:

*All forms of poetry that meet the tautogram requirements above are accepted. There is no minimum word count.*
