Spirate (Pleiades)

by Sylvia   Mar 31, 2010


Surrender of a
soul to indifference.
Secrets never revealed,
sorrow and grief prevail.
Spirit strangled, love died,
succumbed to apathy.
Solace escapes my heart.

NOTE: Definition of spirate - voiceless

Pleiades - This titled form was invented in 1999 by Craig Tigerman, Sol Magazine's Lead Editor. Only one word is allowed in the title followed by a single seven-line stanza. The first word in each line begins with the same letter as the title. Hortensia Anderson, a popular haiku and tanka poet, added her own requirement of restricting the line length to six syllables.
