Forms, Forms and More Forms Pleiades Contest - Members Only

Prompt: Picture Inspired or Title of Picture Inspired

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.
