Notes About The Poem

Pleiades

Only one word is allowed for a title and is followed by a single 7-line stanza, each line having 6/8 syllables. The first word in each line, must start with the same letter as the title.

 

Rabbits

Rabbits


Resplendent ears and tails,
rodent-like; but unlike
rats or mice, they are loved.
Renowned for Easter, they're
rumored to lay eggs; while
rural hares, their cousins,
routinely grace menus.
