Thank you Liilia for the lovely artwork, 'Evening in the City.'

I struggled over this form. I wanted to portray the loneliness self imposed by the shut-in.

Pleiades Poem: A seven line poem of six syllables per line, each line begins with the same letter as the one word title. 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. Doesn't need to rhyme.
