WOW! Amazing use of words that begin with the 24th letter of the alphabet!!!
tonguebreaker! :D
Simple, sparing with words, deeply descriptive of a desert paradise among wonderful people. Well done!
You blew my mind with this! Gosh you made it seem so easy. Brilliance at its finest!
You are brave for choosing X! Well done!! 😍😍
Jeez, could you have picked a harder letter....Nice and now I know some new words.
X is a tough choice, but you did great. Picture pairs very well with poem too❤️
Am I the only illiterate who had to look up every word? Impressive.

I loved that you chose the haiku for this, and I appreciated learning a few new words today :) Fantastic work having this all come together with such limiting structure. You came out swinging with this one!
You picked a tough letter. Well done.
Xcellent
I actually know what most of these words mean without pickuing up my dictionary because I used X too. LOL. I love the creativity of using a haiku. I'm sure Vocal will absolutely adore you too :) This was far from an "attempt". You hit the nail on the head!
Writing an x-tautogram is not an easy task! Well done!
Thank you for sharing your tautogram haiku with us, Loryne. The use of the letter "X" in each word creates a unique and challenging poetic structure, and you executed it well. The choice of words, such as "xerophilous" and "xeric," add an interesting depth to the poem and show a mastery of vocabulary. Keep up the great work and thank you for lingering with us!
