Decades drifting,
Disparate dreams,
Devotion diluted…?
Discomfiture…
Definitely deluded.
Desperation delivers distinctly daunting dilemmas!
Dissolution?
Divorce??

Devastation.

Distress directly dictates depths down depression dives…
Demoralizing despair deluges.
disappearing…
darkness…
dread…
desolation.

Dispensation?
Dear’s delicate deeds, demonstrations deal despondency deliverance,
Delightful, decadent daylight dawns!

Outstanding! I thoroughly enjoyed 'despondency deliverance,' and the entire piece was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. Donna, your mastery of tautograms is truly impressive. Great work!💓😍🙌👌👍
So happy that the last line negated all the negatives, and set one upon a road to hope. Really real words here.
💯❤️Admiration my friend 📝👍
One of the few tautograms that I have read so far that don't just seem like a mess of scrabble words jotted down. Good job on delivering difficult emotions here.
A lot of awesome storytelling going on here along with your delicious d word gymnastics! Fantastic, Donna! Did Donna do "D"? Definitely, Donna did!
Woah, my D tautogram has a very similar meaning. Still, loved this:)
The first line, "Decades drifting" was sobering. I love this one. Time for an extra heart. 💖
Great word choices! I wonder what you could do with an entire alphabet!! - Anneliese🧡
Did not see that coming. Nicely done Donna, (except you didn't sneak your own name in there anywhere!)
I loved 'despondency deliverance' but this whole thing was fantastic, start to finish. You are really nailing these tautograms, my friend!!
This is beautifully written! ❤️
Liked "diluted, deluded" word choice and word play. You are very gifted at these tautograms.
powerful and emotive piece of writing that skillfully captures the complexity of human emotion.💖💗❣️
Delightful, Donna! … seriously though, great writing. Have a great night!
Wonderfully done!
Definitely, delightful!!! 💖💕
What a Devastating picture you paint! Such a passion filled piece, well done!
Great job, Donna- Very emotional piece! You are great at telling a story with these wild tautograms!
