INFORM POETS – SEPTOLET

Back in the seventies, Monti Rock III had assembled a group he called “Disco-Tex and the Sexolettes”. They were gaudy, pretentious, indeed everything you abhorred about the disco era.

Well, this week we’re doing Monti one better. The form featured today is the Septolet.

The Septolet is a poem consisting of seven lines containing fourteen words with a break in between the two parts. Both parts deal with the same thought and create an image.

WALT’S FOURTEEN-SEVEN:

MORNING

Sunrise.
Slowly ascending.
Pretending to hide,
rays are revealing.

Warming,
disarming, charming
new day.
