Sevenling (remember)
I remember
life before Alexa,
mobile phones and GPS
and neighborhoods,
kids playing outside
grown ups gabbing on the porch
these days we’re attached to our phones, connected to nobody

The elements of the Sevenling are:
1. a heptastich, a poem in 7 lines made up of 2 tercets followed by a single line.
2. metered at the discretion of the poet.
3. unrhymed.
4. composed with 3 complimentary images in the first tercet and 3 parallel images in the second tercet. The end line is a juxtaposed summary of the 2 parallels, a sort of “punchline”.
5. the poem should be titled “Sevenling: (first few words of poem).

As connected as we all are with all our electronics, we are more distant from each other than ever.

That is the craziest part of it, isn’t it Peter? Fear is a powerful emotion.

Kay, aloha. For the sevenling, do you have prompts, or do you just come up with a subject or theme?
