Very interesting poem, I like the formation of syllables, it seems like a very challenging write.
Great shape also

What a great entry for this contest! You have very eloquently created a picture in the reader's mind and a story with a moral - it's ok to be slow, just keep going.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is a well-executed tetractys that rings so true. At least for me! On several occasions I have performed spectacular nosedives when I stop concentrating on the mechanics of actually walking and let my mind wander where it will whilst I continue to move. I never seem to learn my lesson.

Katherine, oh yes! Boy have I taking some tumbles and stumbles, Now, a this age, I worry a bit far more of the possible end result. Smiling with you...

My last nosedive was at the end of September (I wrote a short story about it (end of the fall) but if I remember rightly it still needs some work). I had to spend a full day in the Emergency ward of the hospital - very uncomfortable.
See you Tuesday?

Yes, this is my intention! 🙏

great
Comment from Pantygynt
OMG puzzling out the rules for this one is worse than attempting the Times crossword puzzle.
Then I realised you had achieved a political poetic cartoon.
First up, our esteemed prime minister, Boris Johnson:
'wobble, stumble, tumble, go down...so fast'.
And second the leader of the Welsh Senedd, Mark Drakeford:
'simply slithering, dithering along'.
Hang on! What about the other devolved regions?

This is a new style that I have not seen before and I really like the form. You have created a nice poem that makes sense and I think it may be difficult to do that with this form. Great job. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Patty Palmer
A cute thought of the snail going at a snail's pace and the amount of time it takes him/her to get from one place to another. Of course, if he/she ran, she may not get there much faster. Better to stay slow,

What a charming entry for the contest! Although we often joke about things going at a snail's pace, in today's uncertain world- we would do well to take our time and do it right...love the artwork!

A very well-written Quad Tetractys making up twenty lines for the contest and the subject about the snail that has all the time in the world to get to his chosen destination and no need to run.
