in a tetractys sequence ekphrasis

The tetractys was devised by Ray Stebbings & the challenge with the tetractys form is that each line is required 'to stand on its own ' and yet the poem is to express a complete thought,within the narrow compass of 20 syllables. My example today thereof is in an ekphrasis

Matisse's Blue Nude IV My eye was attracted to the Blue nude by the intensity of colour- the image triggering stark sensations drawn by the simple abstract shape.
