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)
