Tautogram Poems
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.

Premium MemberAcceptable Service

Manner of serving God* requires humility:
recognizing who’s in authority
devoid of arrogance and haughtiness’ tenacity
doing so with earnest sincerity-----
-----That truth echoes the Lord's will for service-functionality:
my commitment anchored by biblical spirituality.

Method of sacrificing to the Saviour asks for submission-completeness
seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness
denying self toward obedience-willingness
praying with fervency along grateful worshipfulness----
----- Such is what

You'Re Pc Perfect

You hide, deny, words left implied_
between the lines where you reside_
avoid, misguide, all justified_
You say for love, say you are kind.

~False smiles, false praise...
Say it's the rules...
When did kindness
 become so cruel~

~Fake hugs and invites...
Say it's the rules...
When did kindness
 become so cruel~

persuade, convince, keep up pretence
stay on the fence, no preference
pretend we're friends to

Acceptable Loss

Acceptable loss


I lost my best friend 2 years and 10 months ago on a windswept winter evening. Alone in his thoughts about his future... his past... his life... his pain.

He ended the relationship with his life as he knew it. Content to let bygones be, accepting of his failures, forgiving of his humanity and happy

Accesible and Acceptable

Accesible and Acceptable

A much needed system, we should enable,
We know will always be readily accessible;
And did ensure,
We can endure;
All having agreed with what is acceptable.

No Acceptable Reason

There is no acceptable reason

For discrimination and hate

Whether its about colour

Or sexuality or faith

People have the right be different

To be individual and unique

They have the right to enjoy free being and free speech

Without the fear of being subjected to others need

To racist or homophobic

Or xenophobic as well

Nobody who is different should feel locked in a

My Lord and most gracious God
anoint my tongue by spirit divine
make my words always full of truth
humbly spoken in every line

Grant me a pure holy mind
to be full filling my heart 
thoughts that glorify thy name
for thou O God great thou art

May I be truly acceptable
before you and your grace
my steps be in godly lines

Socially Acceptable

Men grow beards to feel more free,
But looking like a caveman isn't freedom,
It just means you'll always have soup on your face,
Nor does sipping softly on organic green tea,
Or turning a book to page ninety to seem more accomplished than those around you,
Smoking electronic cigarettes for the sake of your health,
Or loving the planet just

The Seeds of Acceptable Hate

The Seeds of Acceptable Hate


Between the folds of faith and belief, 

tucked neatly in cushioned corners, 

lie the seeds of acceptable hate.



Through quaint pleasant rituals, 

and joyously hummed words, 

dumbed down thoughts

and dazed faces exude, 

righteous sweetness.



Belief wrapped in glistening foil, 

faith painted in gaudy colours, 

concealing the murmurs of hate, 

of embraced intolerance, 

and

Socially Acceptable Demeanor

Don’t you see how much it hurts?
Suppressing a part of me?
So you can be comfortable?

It isn’t like changing shirts,
easy, peasey, one, two, three,
fit into a neat label.

Shall I cut my heart in thirds?
Feed the offensive to birds,
and sooth the rest words?

Can’t you see how much it hurts?
Murdering a part of me?
So you can stay comfortable?

Premium MemberTo Pass Something Off As Acceptable

What does that mean?
I'm sittin' here tryin' to figure
like if it means like you don't like
the use of the word like then is like, 
like un acceptable?

Or if you meet a stranger who has
no idea you just spent
thirty seven hours in the ED with your
daughter who tried to OD and they make a crack
about valium,

Not Perfect But Acceptable!

My younger years - I don't know how
At six and seven folks had a cow!

The journey through the mind begins
Do not think the devil wins!

In middle school has a crash
Doing some things rather rash!

In high school had good grades
Then they dropped - almost like Hades!

Drove and walked many a mile
Just to see myself and smile!

God

An Acceptable Degree of Insanity

As I move farther from the
line where the water crawls to
meet the sand, I have to dig
deeper to find water.  I push
my toes in as far as they will
go without digging and leave it
at that. It's too much work, now.
I want to walk down to where
the rocks barely rise above
the low-tide mark, but I

Acceptable Food

Acceptable Food
The eye is never sure of his food so anyway they say there is limits to what a man 
can have they don’t want crumbly things so today I’m typing with a banana to 
illustrate the rules have never changed the popcorn made inside the theater box 
can be bought but never brought from
