Loquacious as stone she
Looks soft to the lonely
Listens to deep confides
Lifted in to the night
Likens their tears to tides
Lingering in the heart
Lost where to end or start

Today at dVerse our host for this week, Vandana, asks us to create a Pleiades poem.
A Pleiades, invented in 1999, consists of seven lines of six syllables; each line starting with the same letter as the title. The title is a single word.
And as further challenge, our poem should reference to a celestial body in honor of the form inspired from a heavenly object.
nice tie between the tears and the tides…
and she is a good listener…i have talked to her on occassion…
smiles.
What a beautiful poem about a beautiful subject – you meet the brief so very well.
The moon is mysterious & is always a muse for the lonely and heartbroken ~ Great job on the form ~
Always a good subject, but this form makes the poem especially alive and beautiful.
Beautiful. Luna is a perfect choice for this type of poem.
Beautiful.
Groovy. Love- “Likens their tears to tides”
Cool picture the moon does look a bit lonely..
I do like how you have characterized the moon…and what a fascinating picture you chose as well.
i like loquacious as stone. very surreal.
If the moon thought, what would it think? I think you’ve captured that well.
“Likens their tears to tides” is such a lovely line. Perfect!

loquacious as stone – but a good listener 🙂
The importance to have a good listener. So well expressed. I would love to talk to the moon.

The enchantress: moon!!, will always linger in our hearts for sure. Thank you for your participation.
There’s a soft beauty to this.
there’s a loneliness to this… gave it mystery
I enjoy the likening of tears to tides…very much, they can be like that.
I love the opening line.
I like the personification you used. Well done.
The moon is always a comfort.
She “looks soft to the lonely”—such a bittersweet image.
