Jack Huber Pleiades
Named for the famous star cluster, a Pleiades is a seven-line poem without any set meter or rhyme. The seven brightest stars in the constellation were named for the “Seven Sisters” in Greek mythology, thus the seven lines. This form was invented about a decade ago by Craig Tigerman, an editor for Sol Magazine, an online poetry periodical.
A Pleiades has a one-word title and each of its seven lines begins with the same letter as the first letter in the title.
Example:
Weathermost
When the brilliant burst lights the sky,
We count off the seconds aloud,
Willing the delay longer before thunder
Wields its booming voice, interrupting our
Watch for the storm's next strike. Having
Withdrawn, our attention now returns to the
Window into Nature's electric choreography.

Till the amorous fork thrusts to entangle
To feed one's hunger and lustful appetite.
T'was you see the mating ball of serpents
That brought Eve and the apple to me.

Thanks Jack... looking forward to your feedback
cheers

Manohar Bhatia Hi Jack,
Thanks.Here's my Pleiades:::::::::::::
MISUNDERSTOOD:::::::::
Misunderstanding is the
Most confusing word in the
Mind of many,sadly
Misunderstaood for
Many times over
Mundane things,sometimes taken as
Moonshine in their life.
Jack,I have tried it,I do not know whether it is correct.
