<center>LAUGH
chortle
giggling

hilarity and
merriment coming from
the honest part of your soul

"let a smile be your umbrella"</center>

Perfect form. You even kept it inside the peramiters.

I'll post a definetion for those that don't know what a Clarity Pyraqmid is. Defenetion:
Clarity Pyramid--A Clarity Pyramid is a poem consisting of two triplets and a single line (7 lines in all). Usually, this poem is center aligned when displayed. The first triplet has 1, 2, and 3 syllables. The title of the poem is the one-syllable word of the first triplet, which is displayed in all capital letters. This line is followed by a two-syllable line, and then a three-syllable line both of which clarify the definition of the poem, or are synonyms for the title.

The second triplet has 5, 6, and 7 syllables. It's design is based around a life event contained within the triplet which helps give a poetic view or outlook on the first line (title).

The last line is 8 syllables, and is in quotations as this line contains a quote that defines the first word (title).

Did you ever look at that web site I gave you, Shane? I thought you might dig it since you love poetry forms.

Thanks for your comments Neg

It's a good site, that one, ..... thanks for that

I actually have 95 different styles on my home poetry files and I've been well "versed" in form poetry

Wanna see a list?

Form doesn't seem to be as popular here compared to other sites I've visited.

I've actually written 8 Clarity Pyramids so far over the years... some better than others.

They are my favourite style (and Sestinas & Swap Quatrains)

Now we're talking. I love Sestinas as well. The pride of completion is a really good feeling.

BTW, if you want me to split the conversation off this piece, let me know. I'd hate to take away from the piece. I could move it to Open Discussion or something. However, if you don't mind we'll keep it here. It's up to you because the piece belongs to you.

Exactly my thoughts!.... the pride of completion, probably because they're soooo big

I was particularly proud of my last one I've posted here a few months ago

This chat is ok cause it's relevant

I still love the way this piece explodes on me even when brought in dire straights. It is a meaningfull piece, Shane.

I'm glad the conversation is seen as relevant and fulfilling. You ever change your mind; let me know.
