Writative

(We Write Poems Prompt here:)
 
Why? Why, do I write, I
wryly ask my poor self.
What  ego deficit
worms writhingly through me
wielding the demand to
woo with beautiful words,
wishing for a big WOW?

    wow, all those w's... and i think that's something we all wish for, that recognition, that big WOW (or at a minimum, to know we've been heard, read)

      I know, makes me feel a little shallow but when you take pride in doing(or saying) your best you want that recognition.
      All those "w's" are for the form - Pleides

    Pleiades

    Here is the info I have.

    This titled form was invented in 1999 by Craig Tigerman, Sol Magazine's Lead Editor. Only one word is allowed in the title followed by a single seven-line stanza. The first word in each line begins with the same letter as the title. Hortensia Anderson, a popular haiku and tanka poet, added her own requirement of restricting the line length to six syllables.
