Day four of Epic Lyssa Poetry Month. This writing-something-every-day thing is actually much harder than I'd anticipated.
This is a "pleiades," a seven-line form in which every line begins with the same letter. It was invented in 1999 by Craig Tigerman, and it sounded so delightful that I had to try it (making me probably the first person since Craig Tigerman to do so).
The enemy of makeup and all
That is false, streaking down a face in
Times of anguish or
Triumph; joy, darkness; shining
Through the dull and placid everyday
To reveal the extraordinary by their perfect
Transparent light.
