ROUND 88 (August) PROMPT: ** Image ID #2165202 Unavailable ** This month, we are writing the Tectrascys! Tetractys, a poetic form invented by Ray Stebbing, consists of at least 5 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 syllables (total of 20). Tetractys can be written with more than one verse, but must follow suit with an inverted syllable count. Tetractys can also be reversed and written 10, 4, 3, 2, 1. Double Tetractys: 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 10, 4, 3, 2, 1 Triple Tetractys: 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 10, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 and so on. Road trips down life’s highways and by ways spent with you riding along right by my side. I miss the way you looked as we travelled from here to there. Memories of times past. Death changes so many things in this life. Little things seem to be what I miss most. |
