Clarity Pyramid
Created by Jerry P. Quinn, a Clarity Pyramid is a poem consisting of two triplets and a single line (7 lines in all). Usually, this poem is center aligned. 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 in all capital letters ,followed by a two-syllable line, and 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 around 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, which is your Title.

I never did it, but they make a big deal of it in some places, even making piles so huge that the kids jump off the roof into these gigantic piles of leaves. great job and congratulations.

Thanks Andrea, we use to jump in piles of leaves when I was a boy, and as I recall it was a lot of fun... I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.
