Tetractys: Contest Entry56 total reviews
Comment from bob cullen
I must confess to being a traditionalist when it comes to poetry. As such I have little or no understanding of new poetic styles like Haiku, Naani, tetracty, senryus and the like.
Yours though I understood. It made a statement and it expressed a beautiful thought. I may yet become a convert.

Hello Bob!
Tetractys is my favorite form of poetry; the structure and cadence of the English language lends itself to it so well...Am very pleased you stopped by and enjoyed your visit. diane
Comment from S.Yocom
This little poem is poignant, sweet, and very true, Diane. You put a lot of meaning into those fifteen words. Good luck.
Sally
Please forgive me, Diane. My finger must have slipped. There is no way that your poem deserved only a three. I'm glad you told me. I have made it a five.

Thank you Sally for your kind review. Am curious, however, as to why you rated it as only "average" - indicating that it is in need of improvement - based upon the kind remarks you wrote. Take Care...diane
Comment from Claire Dumont
Lovely and sad at the same time.
I am very impressed with how you captured love's endurance in just a few short words.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Belinda
Hi, Mrs. KT. It's very smart of you to write a tetractys for a short love poetry contest. This form suits your ideas very well. The 'growing' lines convince me little by little of what you're going to say about the love that remains strong even only in memories. Interesting!

Comment from AlvinTEthington
A great poem, stressing the anamnestic quality of life and the human community. I don't why I feel this, but I sense an early modern Tudor/Stuart English feel to the poem; did you intend that? Writing it in the present tense was was work of genius. Superb execution of the tetractys form, at which you excel. Good juxtaposition of picture and poem.
