A Double Tetractys poem written for Week 5, Poetic Explorations.
School. First grade. Catholic school no less. God.... I never thought a nun could be so large. How quickly does a six-year-old's life flash before his eyes when faced with the Stick. Wackk! Author Notes: A Tetractys consists of at least 5 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 syllables (total of 20). It can be written with more than one verse, called a Double Tetractys as in the case above, but must follow suit with an inverted syllable count.
