A Multiple Tetractys poem in honor of nine remarkable women I have had the honor and privilege to know for over forty-two years.

Tetractys Format:
Tetractys is a simple and interesting form of poetry of five lines. Each line adds one syllable until the last stanza which has ten syllables.

Line 1: 1 Syllable
Line 2: 2 Syllables
Line 3: 3 Syllables
Line 4: 4 Syllables
Line 5: 10 Syllables

Tetractys can be of any subject matter and of any length, but in a tetractys series or multiple tetractys, each succeeding stanza group must invert the syllable count:
1,2,3,4,10,10,4,3,2,1,etc...
