Peter Pauper pottered patiently poking pottery pieces

Patty Pastry practiced pressing pretty pastry pansies

Pervy Percy perused Pretty Polly's pretty panties

Pamela Pavlova pranced perfectly polishing plywood platforms

Thanks for reading!

    .. “Who misses tautograms? Just me”. 😅😂 Well I enjoyed it. Have you been writing your novel or something..? Feel like I haven’t seen you in weeks.

    I had no idea these forms had a name, I may have to try one myself you made it look so fun!

  • I miss Tautograms too but not enough to attempt another one, lol. You made it seem like a fun tongue twister. I loved it! 🍩🥐

    This is great. I still hate tautograms though. Lol

  • Ah, that Percy. Just curious, but you used doubling on each of the first three lines (pottered/pottery, Pastry/pastry, Pretty/pretty). Was there a reason you didn't on the fourth?

  • Pretty poem! Perfectly palpable!
