Titillation (Pleiades)

Titillation

by CASSIDY TORRANCE

’tis the time of the Snow Maiden, leaving
trails of virgin snow in her wake while

that there are so many ways to begin.

 

*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.
