A Mirrored Tetractys Poem
A chapter in the book CSP: A Collection of Poems
In Shatters
by Sixteezkid

TETRACTYS, a poetic form invented by Ray Stebbing, is a five-line syllabic verse form. Each verse should express a complete thought in 20 syllables, with line counts: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10. If there are multiple stanzas, the even stanzas mirror the odds in line syllable counts.
