Clinging to Childhood
The playground is empty, as it should be past sundown. There is a warm breeze, and I can see everything despite the late hour. What time is it, anyway? It could very well be past midnight. I can never keep track of time, especially in the summer. A prickly piece of popcorn hides like a stowaway in the left cup of my padded training bra. I stuffed the tissue in last minute— a decision I’m beginning to regret, based on the events that are unfolding rapidly before me. To my left, laying non-chalantly on his back, is my date for the evening. He is two years older, could probably grow facial hair if he wanted to, and drives a secondhand Honda. He may as well be a Man. I, on the other hand, feel like a fraud with my too-short short-shorts, sparkly lip gloss, and makeshift push-up bra. I keep my arms pinned to my sides as I feel the dreaded circles of sweat beginning to manifest on my brand new Abercrombie top. I cup my elbows with my hands and stare down at my hint of cleavage, praying that the tissue doesn’t pop out like a white flag surrendouring my lack of womanhood.

Impressive!!! Very creative!!!
Wonderful ❤️❤️❤️
Some tautograms mash words together. Others string them along nonsensically. Then there are tautograms that make you think, reread and linger. Yours is one of them. Well done!
You are really talented.

Dear Dean F. Hardy, I read your Tautogram Challenge, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed. The way you played with words in such an inventive manner is truly remarkable. Your use of alliteration is not only entertaining but also challenging. It is not easy to write a poem with such a constraint, yet you managed to create something beautiful out of it. The way you structured the poem with four stanzas, each starting with a different letter, is an impressive feat. The poem flows smoothly and has a musical quality to it. Overall, I think you did an excellent job, and I look forward to reading more of your work. Keep up the good work!
This poem is a straight "W." Reading it was a "W." I bet that when You completed it, You felt the "W." I bet when You were writing it, even when You were struggling and stacking "L"s, that You felt that You were working Your way to a "W." This entire poem is a "W."
This is excellent. Blown away at how good this is. Bravo!
Fantastic job!
This is great! Congrats on top story!
Fantastic! Well done!
