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.

Tuesday,

time to take trays

to taste tests.

The tavern toasts

teams that took

the trophy this Tuesday.

~

Today

This time they

tackled the tray.

There they tasted

tofu taters then tended

to the tea, the treat,

till the torte took the trophy tonight.

~

Their taffy

turned too tacky

to top the torte.

They took to the theatre,

then to the tavern.

That took the trophy

this Thursday.

    These are also quite the tongue twisters. Great work. Just wondering if you read some of my tongue twisters that I wrote and posted here on Vocal even though it was quite awhile ago.
