This work has reached the exceptional level
a reflective septolet
The Orchard by adewpearl


Branches bent
with tangerines
tantalize
my taste buds.

Workers, stretching,
ease
their aching backs.

Author Notes
The septolet is a poem of 14 words and 7 lines divided into two sections. The sections, while separate, combine to form a single picture that often takes into account two
contrasting points of view.

My favorite example is the following septolet by Crystal Rose:

Lion
moving swiftly
across the plain,
most intent.

Antelope
grazing contently
on his meal.
