Author Notes
Inspired by Sandra Du Plessis, I tried this poetic form,
A Clarity Pyramid is a poem consisting of two triplets and a single line (7 lines in all). Usually, this poem is center aligned when displayed.
The first triplet has 1, 2, and 3 syllables. The title of the poem is the one-syllable word of the first triplet, which is displayed in all capital letters. This line is followed by a two-syllable line, and then a three-syllable line, both of which clarify the definition of the poem, or are synonyms for the title.
The second triplet has 5, 6, and 7 syllables. Its design is based on a life event contained within the triplet which helps give a poetic view or outlook on the first line (title).
The last line is 8 syllables and is in quotations as this line contains a quote that defines the first word (title).
