Tetractys
Invented by Ray Stebbing, a Tetractys poem can be done a few different ways. It is a 5 line poem with the 1st line having one syllable, the 2nd line two syllables, the 3rd line three syllables, the 4th line four syllables and the 5th line 10 syllables (1,2,3,4, 10) You may also do this in reverse (10,4,3,2,1) or a double Tetractys (1,2,3,4,10, 10,4,3,2,1)

Hope ignites passion's flame with a promise fanning the smouldering embers of love fanning the smouldering embers of love with a promise passion's flame ignites Hope Love leads to happiness without question it is the pinnacle of emotions it is the pinnacle of emotions without question happiness leads to Love
