Too tired to think
Though Tautogram
Task tantalises
Trade-off to test
Talent—terrible?
Terrific?
Trendy take?
Tanked?
Tendons taut
Tension tough
Thoughts turbid
Tightrope to traverse
Tremors, throbs, twinges
Touch-typing triumphs
Temptation thrills
Thankfully
Tapped technique
Totally transcended
Tiredness’s trough
Transformed torpor
Tore through
Ta-da!

[Author’s Note: I felt this Tautogram poem looked much better centred, so I made an image for it, as Vocal formatting doesn’t yet allow justification choices. Until this challenge, I’d never written or even heard of a Tautogram, and I’d love to know what you think. Please heart, comment, and tweet to @harmony_kent if you’ve enjoyed my humble attempt! Thanks, Harmony 💕🙂]

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
