    This poem is a great example of how a unique poetic challenge, in this case the tautogram challenge, can inspire creativity and originality. The author has managed to skillfully use words starting with the letter "P" to create a poem that explores the fine line between pleasure and pain. The structure of the poem is simple yet effective, with each line building upon the previous one to create a sense of increasing intensity. The use of alliteration throughout the poem adds to its musicality and helps to reinforce the central theme. The imagery in the poem is visceral and evocative, with words like "prickly" and "pounding" effectively conveying the physical sensations associated with both pleasure and pain. The use of words like "piercings" and "papercuts" adds a layer of complexity to the poem, suggesting that sometimes pleasure and pain can be intertwined and difficult to separate. Overall, this is a well-crafted poem that showcases the author's talent for using language in a creative and thought-provoking way. The tautogram challenge has been executed brilliantly, resulting in a poem that is both engaging and memorable.

    Wow!! I feel kind of sated after that. I guess that's why it's called "The Little Death." Congrats.

    This gave me chills in the best possible way. It really is a fine line, and it feels incredible when something is able to straddle the line between the two.

    Oh my...is it hot in here? Yeah...that says a lot in so few words. It is so very true! As ever, killing it, absolutely killing it with these tautograms. Love the story you told...the thoughts provoked and feelings evoked!

  • Heather Hubler3 years ago

    I loved the duality of this piece and how you lead up to the 'peak' with slow sensuality and then took the dive down the other side with edging that very fine line. Awesome work!!

  • Perfectly pitched words between the dichotomy of pleasure and pain.
