A Pleiades poem ~ a poem about dementia
Distant

Delicate dance of
     distant memories
 darting in and out of a
       dying soul, as thoughts
   disintegrate into the
     disconnected dribble of a
disarticulated mind.

This is a relatively new form, it was invented in 1999 by Craig Tigerman, Sol Magazine's Lead Editor. The Pleiades is a star cluster in the Taurus constellation discovered by the Greeks and named the Seven Sisters: Alcyone, Asterope, Celaeno, Electra, Maia, Merope, and Tygeta.
The basic form consists of seven lines, each line starting with the same letter as the one-word title, and at first no meter or syllable count was specified.
