Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.

This poem is a great example of how a unique poetic challenge, in this case the tautogram challenge, can inspire creativity and originality. The author has managed to skillfully use words starting with the letter "P" to create a poem that explores the fine line between pleasure and pain. The structure of the poem is simple yet effective, with each line building upon the previous one to create a sense of increasing intensity. The use of alliteration throughout the poem adds to its musicality and helps to reinforce the central theme. The imagery in the poem is visceral and evocative, with words like "prickly" and "pounding" effectively conveying the physical sensations associated with both pleasure and pain. The use of words like "piercings" and "papercuts" adds a layer of complexity to the poem, suggesting that sometimes pleasure and pain can be intertwined and difficult to separate. Overall, this is a well-crafted poem that showcases the author's talent for using language in a creative and thought-provoking way. The tautogram challenge has been executed brilliantly, resulting in a poem that is both engaging and memorable.
Pervert! ;)
Wow!! I feel kind of sated after that. I guess that's why it's called "The Little Death." Congrats.
Very well done

Sensory overload. Well done!
SO GOOD! I love the slow build of this to the peak... and then beyond. You created great anticipation with each passing word! Perfect title! Fantastic work, as always!
Very, very well done!
The two go hand in hand Congratulations on top story

Congratulations on Top Story!
Oooooo. So sensuous! Love it 🥰❤️
This gave me chills in the best possible way. It really is a fine line, and it feels incredible when something is able to straddle the line between the two.
poem seems to explore the darker side of pleasure.....👌👍👍
❤️💯‼️
Oh my...is it hot in here? Yeah...that says a lot in so few words. It is so very true! As ever, killing it, absolutely killing it with these tautograms. Love the story you told...the thoughts provoked and feelings evoked!
I loved the duality of this piece and how you lead up to the 'peak' with slow sensuality and then took the dive down the other side with edging that very fine line. Awesome work!!
Perfectly pitched words between the dichotomy of pleasure and pain.
