Silence, my love so dear,
sings a phantom embrace.
Soft, gentle- a chaste kiss.
Shy, it waits for dark,
slips into my room;
shepherds out the days mess,
soothes me to sleep.
Form: 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."
