Pleiades in the Color of K

decorative

In November, I plan to write a series of Pleiades. What are the Pleiades, you might ask? It is a poem with a one-word title and seven stanzas. Each of the stanzas has to begin with the same letter as the one-word title. It is not required for the Pleiades to rhyme. I tried my hand with it using the letter A. Therefore, I wrote Pleiades in the Color of K to brighten up November.

I also will be providing NaNoWriMo updates. I’m an overachiever. As 2020 wasn’t a big enough freakshow, I decided to do the 50,000-word challenge again.

(First Pleiades in the Color of K)

Karma

Knowing that what goes around comes around
Kindness should be your compass
Knit together with a kernel of human dignity
Kickstart kinesis of kindheartedness
Keepsake of happiness for a weary soul
Knock out punch to hatred and selfishness
Knickknack to hang on a wounded heart

(Second Pleiades in the Color of K)

Kaleidoscope

Kilowatts of color tantalizing the eye

Keep turning and twisting until you reach a new frame

Kerplunk, a new pattern is displayed

Knuckling you give it another try

Kick out the image and the new ones not the same

Knocking the first one back into place

Knowing if you keep spinning, you’ll lose the race

(Third Pleiades in the Color of K)

Kibitzing

Kettle boiling on the kitchen stove

Kudzu growing on the fence out back

Kimono wearing woman flies into the room

Kamikaze zooming in to offer advice

Keep it to yourself lady and don’t think twice

Kleptomaniac of dreams buried in our tiny shack

Klutzy kin with a tongue prepared to slice

NaNoWriMo update

This year has been a challenge, but I did manage to type 1952 words today. My grand total is now 22,992. I have my characters about to go into the belly of a mountain. I’m afraid I’m going to kill one of them off there.
