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.
