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 1st 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 2nd triplet has 5, 6, and 7 syllables. Its 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). |

Never heard of this before but it's very interesting. You did quite well with the small amount you gave yourself to work with.

Dang, I should have known it was you! You come up with the most unique and instructive poetry of nearly anyone here. No boasting, no roasting of other poets, just plain old good writing in every style you can find.

Hi Aforbing,
I am not sure about this style.
It is interesting ,but does it work.
Take the first triplet Tough-Hardened-Unbroken. Unbroken is out of context
Tough- Harder-Annealed. Tough-Inure-Tempered.
I was wondering what happened to the four syllable line, and the progressive sequence.
No doubt, someone will tell me.
TOUGH
Harder
Annealed
Child becomes numb.
Shutting out abuse
Her skin becomes thicker
He; Daddy hurts no more.
Of course, the seven-syllable line will have some mysterious significance yet to be explained
I never understood hardened being two syllables and can’t one syllable it just don’t seem fair.
Isn’t poetry wonderful?
Best Regards,
Morchuis
