We-l-l-lllllll... if you insist, I just might decide to give 'er a go one of these days, Anonymous Poet. Of course, I'll have to wait for just the right opportunity to do so, however. You know...for inspiration to strike?
It's good to branch out, spread our creative "wings", and take on new challenges in our writing by learning new forms of poetic expression once in a blue moon.

Best of luck with yours.

Great poem on the format itself. It's not as easy as people think. And you put that fact in the format itself. Very clever. Wish you all the best

a cool entry. Im not sure how tetractys is ptonounced. if it is somehow three syllables then your last line is the right syllable count. if it is only three, then your one syllable shy. fyi( maybe ..lol)

I enjoyed your contest entry poem. The color scheme works well. Good job on the format--the syllable count is correct. Your lines flow smoothly. Your message is a challenge to all to use their brains to learn new words. Good job and best wishes in the contest. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Hi Jan, I am glad that this worked for you, and pleased I do have the correct syllable count. I worked on the words and checked them all out before posting also wanted the colours to be complimentary to the image . Cheers for your best wishes
