Whispering horizon
wears a speck of amber
while a silent autumn
waits in denial to
watch spirited colors
waddle across the moor
welcoming giggling spring.
Poetry Form: Pleiades - 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.

Thanks for sharing this new format. Very interesting. And the poetry is awesome.
Hi Rajlakshmi,
I quite like your poem. I write a lot about the seasons, as the year goes by, and I am impressed by how you pack so much into this terse form. The idea of autumn waiting in denial as spring begins is very rich in possibility and imagination.
Interesting! Learned about a new form of poetry today :)
Very well written
