The picture coupled with poem makes this a maddening read. Being alone can mess you if you're not occupied with things to do. Well thought out and nicely written. Good S-word alliteration. Nice work :)

It sound more like lonely not solitary. You shouldn't wait, you should get out and seek what to need to find the serenity at the end of the poem.
This is one of the harder forms I have tried, even though it is short.
You did a good job.
Keep writing.

Comment from Thomas Bowling
A very good contest entry. You should create a style on this style. Stanzas that begin with the same letter. It would be a good one.

A very well-written Pleiades poem. The format rules are followed petfectly. Solitary had its pros and cons. We just have to find the balance in everything we do.

I am, for the most part, a shut-in. I was very lonely for several years. I have figured out how to get out a bit and Fanstory really helps with the isolation. You portrayed the feelings well, my friend~Debbie

Comment from Nan Beeson
Re your Pleiades poem, "Solitary," thank you for explaining it in your author's notes....
Stuck on this couch alone
Sitting, waiting, for what?
Silence surrounds the room
Sanity held onto
Simply walk to the door
Suppose for a moment
Serenity awaits
I see that you followed all the rules and found it to be full of great imagery and Wisdom. My favorite line was...
"Silence surrounds the room"
Silence to me means peace and serenity and not having interruptions from the outside world often filled with greed and self gratification.
Thank you for sharing it, I so resonated with it.

This Pleiades paints the picture of being alone wonderfully.
The expectation of a visitor, the waiting, the silence.
Absolutely fantastic Patty, loved it.
Have a lovely evening

Comment from nuthead
Nice alliteration and assonance thrown in with all the S's (required for this form). Lovely.
Waiting / what
Silence / surrounds
Suppose / moment
I like the theme, and think it's a good one. I think your lines are worded correctly, but a small suggestion? Add punctuation for intended stops, pauses, etc. This will ensure your intended meanings are clear.
For instance:
Stuck on this couch alone,
Sitting, waiting, for what?
Silence surrounds the room,
Sanity held onto.
Simply walk to the door --
Suppose for a moment,
Serenity awaits.
Well done. Enjoyed!
Great picture choice, too!

Comment from MaggieF
Enjoyed this thought provoking poem, I'm learning so many different styles on here. I can feel the energy needed to get off the sofa, when life throws problems at you it is sometimes hard to get up and move on. I love the positivity of the last line, what if? MaggieF
