Tautogram Challenge: A Poem about Self-Reflexivity

By Shanice Steadman-OlliverPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

Alternation, an artful anagram

an actor's arch aria against annihilation.

An antithesis, armed ages ago

against all antagonists at autonomy.

Again aggrieved.

Affixed at an axis afflicted:

All aggregates automatons already.

All aimed at alienation and Africanized agitation.

Anonymously agreed, an afternoon's affright.

Authority adorned anon, accredited, alight.

Ancient aquariums accrued apathy

alongside anchors attaching ambition.

Alacrity at an anecdote's aqueduct

abetting aberrations.

Apparent as all above,

an appetite: abolish all!

Although

Always awry, actions acclimated and anger.

Alas, accepting acceptable accommodations!

Aching acid acknowledged.

An ambiguous antidote after?

Abound, Admirer

abandoning along away an avid apprehension.

An aggressive affect, Alteration.
