Mummies (Pleiades)

Mummies

Man-made anticlimax
Mimics paper tigers
Manipulates nation
Molests empty-headed
Metamorphoses into
Maladjusted majors
Marching on red carpet.

** 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.
