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 a picture.

Example #1:
Untitled

Lion 
moving swiftly 
across the plain, 
most intent. 

Antelope 
grazing contently 
on his meal.

Example #2:
Lion Woman

Prowling,
Lion woman
Seducer of men.

Trembling heart
Naked, heat
Rising from skin,
Ecstasy!
