TETRACTYS
Tetractys should express a complete thought, profound or comic, witty or wise using 20 syllables. They can be written with more than one verse but each subsequent verse must invert the syllable count. There is no limit to the number of verses. The structure is:
line 1 - 1 syllable line 2 - 2 syllables line 3 - 3 syllables line 4 - 4 syllables line 5 - 10 syllables
I'll have a few later.
