Tetractys

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 is your last resort when love has left your heart broken; and your dreams disappear. But, you’re not a slave shackled to lost dreams, for you believe that there is always hope. (Double Tetractys) 04,25,2019 Tetractys This Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Charles Messina
