recalcitrant, reeling,
regurgitating retched reality.
repeating wrongs,
redefining right.
relinquishing restraints,
readily roaming riversides;
rediscovering Rose.
Author notes
NOTE: I used the word wrong, it needed to be there. The w is silent though so pretend it just starts with an r.
Also.. this is a form poem- (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.)

if it wasnt for your mention of riversides i would of loved it, we all know that riversides across the country are lame, lol just kidding, great poem though

Heh, you wrote a Pleiades. I edit for the literary journal Pleiades. Weird coincidence. As for the poem, the one letter thing is a novel idea, but not something I want to see more of. It gets both irksome and monotonous. But still, good job with an interesting challenge.
Side note - I am so sick of seeing the word Rose. -
this is really well-written.
what wonderful words you've penned - in an amazing format. Ive never seen this before.. but it looks interesting.
great job and congrats on the HM!

Wow. Very strange. Not in a bad way at all. "Rediscovering Rose" while I discover a new form. There's not much else for me to say, forgive me
-
Really romantic writing.
