STARS
shining
luminous
in heavens above
glimmering pools of light
illuminating darkness
“glowing lanterns of the night skies”
Author notes
~clarity pyramid~
The CLARITY PYRAMID form was designed by Jerry P. Quinn. It consists of two triplets and a single line, making a total of seven lines. This type of poetry generally center-aligned when displayed.
Schematic:
X
xx
xxx
xxxxx
xxxxxx
xxxxxxx
"xxxxxxxx"
where "x" is the number of syllables per line
The first triplet has 1, 2, and 3 syllables. The title of the poem is the one-syllable word of the first triplet, which is displayed in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. This line is followed by a two-syllable line, and then a three-syllable line, both of which clarify the definition of the poem, or are synonyms for the title.
The second triplet has 5, 6, and 7 syllables. Its design is based around a life event contained within the triplet which helps give a poetic view or outlook on the first line (title).
The last line is 8 syllables, and is in quotations as this line contains a quote that defines the first line.

How simply beautiful! I feel so close to the stars at times...and I was just thinking of them recently while I read an essay from Emerson (he spoke of going out and looking at the stars to find true solitude). This is simple, yet that enhances it's beauty! This is simply marvelous! I love it! Thank you so much for entering this wonderous piece!

I should have known that if anyone could make this form flow so rich and smooth, it would be you. I saw this contest and liked the concept but didn't have the time to play. I am so glad I got to read your entry though. This is peffect forthe backgriund as well. I'm in good shape. I got my belly warmed on the beauty and glow of your words. Good luck in the contest!
