#OctPoWriMo – Day 7 – Double Tetractys – Wasting my Time
October Poetry Writing Month #OctPoWriMo!
Theme for 2018 is a one lined quote that gives me a idea for the Poem – Quotes are copied from Goodreads.com – tag poetry.
“I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.” ― William Shakespeare
Now
I like
sitting down
reading poetry
it’s the place I willingly love to be.
Poetry is my passion in retirement.
If it’s wasted
it’s my time
to waste.
Yes.
Double Tetractys A decastich (10-line stanza) with an emphasis on the syllabic count of each line. Syllabic count: 1-2-3-4-10-10-4-3-2-1 It should express a complete thought and may be on any theme and express any mood. Rhyme is optional.

Your poem compliment’s Shakespeare’s quote so well, but time spent reading is never time wasted. 🙂
I’m exploring new poetry forms for my OctPoWriMo. Definitely will give double tetractys a try.
