Twenty-Eight: Pleiades

Definition: a pleiades can only have a one-word title. The first word in each line begins with the same letter as the title. The poem has seven lines with six syllables each. The Pleiades is a star cluster in a constellation, and the stars represent seven sisters, one of which is not very visible. The seven lines represent the 7 sisters, and the 6 syllabic pattern represents the fact that one of the sisters is almost invisible.

Bubble

bubble blow karo! smiles
beaming, the suds vanish
between their hands, their squeals
bursting through the damp air's
beauty. iridescent
beams splashing their faces,
belief floating like bliss.
