Diabolical Dilemma
A Tautogram Poem
Devil does devious deeds
Depressing decadence
During December
Devastating days
Dreadful doubts
Dubious demons
Deceitful doesn't deserve
Different divination
Dissatisfaction deepens
Dismal dressing
Disdainful deals
Downright disillusioned
Dangerous destruction
Dark damnation
Diabolical dilemma
Disastrous disbelief
Dissident disorder
Despicable debts
Desperately doing drugs
Diablerie disease
Doomed defamation
Dying daily
Desolate death
~~~~~
A Tautogram (Greek: tauto gramma, "same letter") is a poem or text in which all words start with the same letter.
I would love to give a shoutout to Colleen Millsteed without whom I wouldn't have been able to write this Tautogram! I would really appreciate it if you check out Colleen's Tautogram below:

In The Blink of Her Eye
Time itself bent and morphed, allowing Shannon the precious seconds needed to see and adjust to the disaster unfolding in front of her. Each frame showed minute details she would have missed had the clock not slowed down until she heard every click of the hands as they swept toward the end of everything. If only she was being melodramatic...

Really outstanding work, it is musical and devious at the same time.
I needed to dig deep to find one of yours I hadn’t read before. So well done!
This sounds a little like someone delving within their own mind and forgetting how to come back out again. I've been there. Amazing writing as always, My Morbid Friend.
Badass!! And incredibly inspiring, might have to take a crack at one of these myself. This definitely read like a spiral, or someone spiraling, awesome work!!
Great tautogram!! 😊💕💜❤️💖
this was so excellent
Super!!! Excellent story!!!
This form is so hard to write! But you did it very well and I love it! 😊
I wish I had this kind of active vocabulary...
Wow!! What an impressive poem. I do not know how you managed to keep a consistent, clear to follow, story with this format, but you did!! I felt carried along by each couplet to the next as if on a journey through the author's despair. Each line portrayed a clear scene
Nicely written
It's getting harder to reciprocate reads with you because I think I might have read everything now 😁
Well done!
Writing with words that begin with only one letter is such a tough constraint, but you still wrote a compelling, heartfelt poem. You are very talented!
Your poems are always so dark and powerful 💞 loved this one.
This was sooooo good Dharrsheena!
Dismal, decadent, and dreamy 👏. Love it!
I loved this tautogram poem with all the 'd's. Superb writing.
That devious devil. You sure served him up cold. Tight Tautogram.
This is such a cool read! What a challenging writing style! Love it!
That was great.
I deeply felt every world of this. I deeply felt every world of this. I deeply felt every world of this. I have no choice but to tell you how I feel - the need to say it again as I have read for a third time. And I thank you for sharing in your profile about your mental illness and the impact on your writing. I can’t wait to read more of your work! Pauline 🌸
Powerful!!
This was a beautifully done tautogram, Dharrsheena! It was dark and twisty in such a subtle way that gave it this feeling of building tension! Also I love that you did a shout out to another authors work, that really makes me smile!
That was great. I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading these tautograms and writing one.
