Happy New Year! Here’s to new days of spilling words, creating beautiful things, and leaving a piece of ourselves for others to find 💙

Let’s have some fun with a poetry form today called Tautogram Poetry. From Brewer,

The tautogram is best explained by its Greek root words of “tauto” meaning “the same” and “gramma” meaning “letter.” Basically, all words in the poem begin with the same letter.

Certainly

cobwebbed clutter
consuming corners
clings, collects, chokes
chthonic, cryptlike, chaotic
certainly

I am on a personal challenge to explore and write in 100+ different poetic forms.  To assist me in this journey is Robert Lee Brewer’s The Complete Guide of Poetic Forms where he gives the form and an example. Certainly is #23 in this collection I’m calling, very simply, 100+ Poetic Forms.
