Tuesday, Today, Thursday
Tautogram Treat Trophies
Challenge: Write a poem where every word starts with the same letter.
A tautogram is basically a fancy term for a word game where every word starts with the same letter or sound. It's like alliteration, but taken to the extreme! It can be a fun way to play with language and create a memorable effect in writing or speech, as well as an effective way to challenge yourself as a writer.
Tuesday,
time to take trays
to taste tests.
The tavern toasts
teams that took
the trophy this Tuesday.

Today
This time they
tackled the tray.
There they tasted
tofu taters then tended
to the tea, the treat,
till the torte took the trophy tonight.
~
Their taffy
turned too tacky
to top the torte.
They took to the theatre,
then to the tavern.
That took the trophy
this Thursday.

GOOD
Terrific tautogram!!! ❤️❤️💕
Whoaaaa, you made it look so easy! Such a brilliantly executed Tautogram!
These are also quite the tongue twisters. Great work. Just wondering if you read some of my tongue twisters that I wrote and posted here on Vocal even though it was quite awhile ago.
