I enjoyed reading your poem "Serenity". You kept to the rules for your lines and syllables. You chose a very appropriate photo - suggesting loneliness and your last line suggesting hope.
Best of luck.

I think you did fine with the form and I totally get it... there is being alone and there is being lonely. I live alone and for the most part it suits me fine but I do get lonely at times. Good job, my friend.

Some great philosophical arguments held within you Pleiades poem, a great responsive work, that draws thought from your reader, to coontemplate the value of waiting...for what? Well done, some good alliteration and language, excellent, blessings, Roy

Patty,

I think you did a fantastic job on your
Pleiades poem. You have wonderful
alliteration in this line: "Silence surrounds the room."
and you overall theme is very thought provoking.

Well done...the form seems challenging,

Linda

The Pleiades form is one of my favorite poetic forms. Your use of the letter "S" adds to your theme of solitude. Feelings and emotions come through clearly. "Serenity awaits" is a perfect last line.

That is a place I hope I never end up... Alone, I can remember writing a couple of these Pleiades back in the day, my first tour of FS : ) They are a tad trickier than they look.You have presented a very good example of the form friend, I loved the last to lines !!

You truly get a sense of loneliness. Simple but strong message projected by the words and the repeated use of the S at the start of each line has an almost snake-like feel to it, but for the right reasons. Love it.

Patty,
I enjoyed your Pleiades poem. You did a great job with its style. All lines are in good order. Your words paint a good, but, sad, picture of one who has shut themselves off to the world. The picture is perfect. How sad is that people do this & many aren't aware of how to help & some don't care.

Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan

Oh dear me, it seems you have been infected by the Pleiades bug. It is a very difficult infection to through off. I have just got over a bad attack of Pleiadisease I picked up in ancient Greece. You have used this one to put over a serious problem agoraphobia. Perhaps serenity awaits but you will never find out unless you go through that door.

    Hi Jim; it is you and your writing that acquainted me with this poetic form. After the effort put into this poem, I'm not entirely sure how you managed to do so many. Thank you for stopping by to read and review,
