This poetic form was created by Ray Stebbing. "Euclid, the mathematician of classical times, considered the number series 1, 2, 3, 4 to have mystical significance because its sum is 10, so he dignified it with a name of its own - Tetractys. The tetractys could be Britain's answer to the haiku. Its challenge is to express a complete thought, profound or comic, witty or wise, within the narrow compass of twenty syllables." - Ray Stebbing
Tetractys consists of at least 5 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 syllables (total of 20).
