Poetry Form: Clarity Pyramid
The Clarity Pyramid has seven lines.
- The first line is the subject or focus of your poem; the second and third lines are either synonyms for the title or they help clarify the subject.
- The second stanza is a life event centered around the first stanza.
- The last line redefines the first line.
Example of Clarity Pyramid

Interesting! I did not know the greek word for writer’s block, nor am I familiar with the clarity pyramid. That’s a cool form of poetry I’d like to try. Thanks for the education! 🙂

I’m not sure whether to be amused or horrified there is a proper term for writer’s block, it sounds like a medical condition! Very fun poem.
