Poetic Forms- Pleiades

Named for the famous star cluster, a Pleiades is a seven-line poem without any set meter or rhyme. The seven brightest stars in the constellation were named for the "Seven Sisters" in Greek mythology, thus the seven lines. This form was invented about a decade ago by Craig Tigerman, an editor for Sol Magazine, an online poetry periodical.

A Pleiades has a one-word title and each of its seven lines begins with the same letter as the first letter in the title. As mentioned, there are no meter or rhyming requirements.

Example:

Grapes

Gourmands recollect each German variety, the
greens, pinks and yellows of the noblest of fruit,
gladdened when they can sip a favored vintage,
gregarious in their oenologic oratory.
Gallant stewards smile, agreeing that
Gewurztraminer indeed goes well with salmon, as
ghosts of vineyards past hide in the dry aromas.
