I don't think I've written too many of these. However the form is simple and fun. Yours is encouraging me to try it again. Good flow and I love the artwork. Marilyn

Mystery writer, this is what we need to do to challenge
ourselves as writers .... try new poetry styles. The only
thing I wondered is does line 5 have 10 syllables. I
think it's only 9, but I could be wrong. I looked up tetractys
and it's just 3 syllables.

Hi heyjude. Yes it was challenging but fun too and I have had a few comments re the syllable count and yes tetracyts only has three but the word really has 3 syllable too. I always run my poems through a syllable counter to to make sure so I think that was the issue as Really sound like 2 but it says it has 3 Thanks for checking though and I appreciate the time taken Cheers

I don't think I could. I think the people who write poetry to these short forms have a special way of seeing things. It's a knack that not everybody has. And it's evident when reading the many pieces submitted to contests like this. Some pieces jump out at the reader, some don't resonate at all. Yours resonated with me.

Good job on this very clever write. I can't comment on the syllable count though I think Tetractys is only 3 syllables. That being said, I'm not positive because I'm not entirely sure how to say it! :P Since I can't prove one way or another I definitely won't be taking points off! xoLeslie

Hi Leslie I am pleased you stopped by for a read and review . I think it is right, I always run my poems through a syllable counter and tetractys is 3 syllables but I am not sure how to pronounce it either LOL. Thanks so much and Cheers for your 5 points
