Week 35 Form: Clarity Pyramid
Form: Clarity Pyramid  Open in new Window.
The Clarity Pyramid is a poetry form designed and constructed by Jerry P. Quinn.

Number of Lines: 7


Rules:
A Clarity Pyramid is a poem consisting of two triplets and a single line (7 lines in all). Usually, this 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 first 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 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 (title).


Rhyme Scheme:
unrhymed

Choices for the poets to make this week: Your poem can be about any topic.


Examples:

WORK
labor
exertion

walked lines all plowed straight
furrow soil, seeds and sweat
spring deposit, fall harvest

"creation’s manifestations"

DROP
dangled
fall away

brim bulging puddle
pushing over the edge
leaving its body behind

"lowered by prying position"
