"Of Person Thing Or An Event"






A Clarity Pyramid is a poem consisting of two triplets and a single line. 7 lines in all. The 
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 1st 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 2nd 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 - the title. The last line is 8 syllables, and is in 
quotations as this line contains a quote that defines the first word -title.

Joseph Spence Sr September 7, 2008 at 3:15 PM Thanks for your thoughts and prayers Kathy. They will do all the pre-ops on Monday. I see the doctors on Wednesday for the final instructions. This is a lovely poem. It reminds me of my days my brothers and I used to reflect on the great times we had growing up. I like the flow of the words and the message. God bless and great job! ~Joseph
