Tetractys

Tetractys has five lines. 
They complete a thought in
twenty syllables as
they ascend or descend
to form pyramid shapes:
they can be reverse too. 
To the heart, they appeal.

wow, how did i ever miss this one? I think yours is one of the best I have seen for this contest. Well, I finally caught up at Soup . I was lagging so far behind that some poets scrolled off my list and I never did reply to them all. Maybe i have a bit of time now to write some poems. have a great Saturday

A mystical symbol very important to the secret worship of Pythagoreanism I understand. It is very interesting to read about. I have never written one but would like to try. This entry should do well in the contest Anitha. Blessings xxoo
