The Thompsons’ tall tree tilts terribly….
Tantalizingly.
Ticktockticktock…
Too tilty?
Troublesome??
Tree to topple???
Thoroughly thinking that today…
…time to tinker?
Tell the Thompsons??
Totally.
Traversed terrain.
Told them.
They thanked.
Trust them their two twin toddlers to tell.
Then… threatening thunderstorms!
Torque twists tree trunk!
Terror!!
Trembling!!!
T I M B E R!!!!
Terrible travesty…
Tree tumbled, took the Thompsons’ twins’ treasured trampoline.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

"Fantastic! Occasionally, the best inspiration for writing comes from real-life experiences. Well done!"
Amazing.
Fantastic stuff, Donna and I loved the use of the actual image and that you clearly based it on reality. Love finding inspiration from around us! Well done, one of the Queens of Tautograms.
I love the picture you have with this. Like it’s HAPPENING right now. AHHHH! 😂🤣 Love your work and the way you flow with such light hearted humor. Reading your work is a real treat.
Oh no! The main character did all they could (and even with only T words, impressive) but I am glad it was only the twins trampoline and not the twins themselves. This was a fun one!
How do you keep doing that? It takes a very clever mind to keep putting together these tautograms of yours that make perfect sense. I'm flabbergasted yet again!
I love how you were able to make this flow just like a story! Sorry about the tree though, lol. Wonderful work!!
Fascinating story within a story. Totally loved it, truly terrible. :)
Loved this! Incredibly well done, Donna 💕🙂
So fun. Great job. Great flow and imagery.
Gosh you make it seem so easy! I loved the smooth flow of it and the story it told! Brilliant!
“Thoroughly thinking that today!”. So good. Great job! 😊
Terrible tragedy, terrific tautogram! 🤣
This was great, Totally telling this tale told to tremendous titillating triumph.
Oh my! You are amazing at these! I loved this so much!! 😍😍
So glad it didn't smite the twins. Well done!
Another home run! Not just having fun playing with sounds & words but with an interesting "tale to tell" as well.
I love that even the photo caption was written with T's! Great job with this one!!
Nicely done. Too bad about the trampoline.
Terrific, tremulously tongue-twisting - Anneliese
Sometimes real life gives us the best ideas for writing. Great job!
Ha! Loved this! Obviously not the squashed trampoline!
I like that this one tells a story - A true story from what you shared on V+A. Well done!
Not the trampoline! 😱
Wow this one is great! Glad everyone's OK though.
