There is indeed a sickening sound as a soul is cut. The pain is endurable, but not the sound. It haunts, forever, the eviscerated.

Really groovy poem with a creative theme and unique images that remain tied together.

Enjoyed this much and was inspired as well...

Sincerely, Adam

Very nice double tetractys with beautiful message. Great illustration and color mood. It should have been a contest entry. Good work.

Hello Sixteezkid,

interesting how you wrote a Tetractys Poem in two stanzas your last stanza is just in reverse far as the count.

Yes cruel words hurt worse at time then actions.
What impressed most about your poem was when you said--(which I know is true, because it happened to me when I was a child)-

For once spoken,
shards may be removed, yet the burn still seethes.

Gert

this is stellar - just the first stanza would be most excellent on its own, but the two mirrored stanzas together are top rate!! I can't imagine anyone's doing better than the form or the choice of words in service of a powerful message

I love this one. I wanted to write one of them and would have begun with the word 'why' but that is as far as I got. This is a great poiece. Good luvk in the contest.

This is an excellent contest entry. I have never seen a tetractys written with a second verse. The mirror image is very poetically pleasing. And you words speak the truth about hurtful words. Once said, the damage has been done and those words continue to echo and hurt an open wound. Best of luck in the contest. Blessings, linda

Very powerful piece. I just entered the tetractys writing prompt contest and you would have been huge competition! "Burn still seethes" is so vivid, and I love that the poem begins with a question. Great artwork as well. :)

If we do not wound with words than we wound with our body physically. It is best not to wound at all.

Good job doing this poetry form that some guy made up

I wonder does that mean I can make one up?

I suppose so, why not? I like your picture! It goes nice with what you wrote.

    Vallachi, I just starting writing poetry. I never knew I could find a voice in this form. And then, I suddenly found this form from another poet. I challenged myself and, WOW....I love it. Please do challenge yourself. I would love to read yours. So glad you appreciate it. Thank you so much for your very generous review and comments! Warm regards, Sue

Wow--I can see, hear and feel the biting pain your few carefully chosen words describe.

"Listen as the cuts penetrate our souls" is my favorite.

A most evocative work, with the tetracyts form providing the perfect framework.

I'm only sorry to be out of 6's.
