Poetry form designed and constructed by Jerry P. Quinn.
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. Its design is based around a life event contained
within the triplet which helps give a poetic view oroutlook 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).
Hyperpoetry
The Hyperpoetry Generator is founded on the principle of "1000 monkeys for 1000 years eventually producing the works of Shakespeare." The Generator works by randomly selecting lines of specific types and lengths and creating a poem on the fly. My hope is that if I insert enough individual lines eventually I will get a good poem out of it.
