Pleiades Picture Competition 1

art by L. Vigil

This is my 31st Contest and it will be on the short form Pleiades. Please use the above picture for inspiration.

Pleiades:

This titled form was invented in 1999 by Craig Tigerman, Sol Magazine's Lead Editor. Only one word is allowed in the title followed by a single seven-line stanza. The first word in each line begins with the same letter as the title. Hortensia Anderson, a popular haiku and tanka poet, added her own requirement of restricting the line length to six syllables.

I don't have many rules except the following:

1. Please keep it G rated. No Erotica.
2. No sticky caps.
3. Please use spell check.
4. You may enter only one poem in this contest.

If there are less than 10 entries, the contest will be ended. No cups or points will be awarded.

This contest will end after 15 entries or the date set for end of this competition.
