Pleiades

The PLEIADES poem, attributed to Craig Tigerman, is a seven-line poem in one stanza with a one-word title. Both the title and the lines of the poem begin with the same first letter.

Although Hortensia Anderson, a popular haiku and tanka poet, added her
own requirement of restricting the line length to six syllables, there is no set syllable count or rhyme scheme for the pleiades poetic format.


Example 1 by Craig Tigerman:

Mything

Men who are from
Mars perhaps come
Masking insecurity by
Mything dreams in
Midas-power, touching
Much in hopes of gold, yet
Missing Venus' point.
----

Example 2 by Rooster Rou:

Joy

Joy,
Jubilee and solemn ceremony;
Jesus is remembered this day.
Join us in the fun and all of the
Jive of Christmas as the grand,
Jolly fat man, dressed in red, does a
Jig high upon the rooftop before he
Jumps down a dirty ol' chimney.
