When West winds wail,
Wild willows weep.
When wanderers wait,
Within walls –
Which withstand withering winds.
Wayfarers waylaid when –
Woodlands’ winding ways were wrecked.

Tautogram Poems
A “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.”
Wow, you did a great job with this tautogram!

Two old willows in my front yard can testify as witnesses and as the waylaid. Nicely done.

Tautogram is a new form for me. You did a beautiful job with it.
Are there any other restrictions to the form? Like length?

apart from every word beginning with the same letter, I don’t think there is any other restriction
