Writer's notes: Vocal said, "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:

Every word in your poem must begin with the same letter. You can choose any letter in the Roman alphabet.

It must be submitted to the Poets community. Choosing a community is a final step in the submission process. Your poem will be rejected for word count requirements if it is submitted to any other community."

BECAUSE is submitted to the Tautogram Challenge.
