Challenge: 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.

    Excellent job on this piece Denise! You made the poem more complicated and interesting by not only making a tautogram, but also by making the lines increase a word for each line, and then decrease one word per line until you had the same amount that you started with. And…. The word that you used to end a sentence was the same word that started the next sentence. Awesome and amazing poetry!!!

    Great job on your tautogram poem, Denise! It's impressive how you were able to use the letter "B" to create a cohesive and engaging piece of writing. The repetition of the same letter adds a playful and rhythmic quality to the poem, and the words you chose evoke a sense of energy and excitement. Keep up the great work and continue to explore the many ways you can use language to express yourself creatively! Thank you for sharing your work with us.
