Invented
by Jerry P. Quinn, it consists of two 3-line stanzas and a final line. The poem
should be centre-aligned to create a pyramid shape. The structure is as
follows:
Line 1:
1 syllable, the poem title, displayed in UPPER CASE.
Line 2:
2 syllables, a synonym of the title or a word that clarifies the title
Line 3:
3 syllables, the same content as line 2.
Lines
4-6: 5, 6 and 7 syllables, and "based around a life event contained within
[the first three lines] which helps give a poetic view or outlook on the first
line".
Line 7:
8 syllables, enclosed in quotation marks; a quotation that defines the
title.
1/2/3/5/6/7/8
