Pleiades
form
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.
Example Poem
Storm
Striking lightning
frightening.
Sending shadows
darting.
Sudden squall
surprising.
Shrieking wind
whistling.
Slamming hail
bombarding.
Suddenly it's over.
