Peter, Patty, Percy, and, Pamela!
Just an absurd P tautogram!
Peter Pauper pottered patiently poking pottery pieces
Patty Pastry practiced pressing pretty pastry pansies
Pervy Percy perused Pretty Polly's pretty panties
Pamela Pavlova pranced perfectly polishing plywood platforms

.. “Who misses tautograms? Just me”. 😅😂 Well I enjoyed it. Have you been writing your novel or something..? Feel like I haven’t seen you in weeks.
I had no idea these forms had a name, I may have to try one myself you made it look so fun!
I miss Tautograms too but not enough to attempt another one, lol. You made it seem like a fun tongue twister. I loved it! 🍩🥐
This is great. I still hate tautograms though. Lol
Ah, that Percy. Just curious, but you used doubling on each of the first three lines (pottered/pottery, Pastry/pastry, Pretty/pretty). Was there a reason you didn't on the fourth?
lol, I loved this so much
😂😂😂 I love unexpected and this was definitely that !!! Lol 🙈😂✨ laughed out loud trying to read it aloud 😂
Pretty poem! Perfectly palpable!
