Pour un poète

Wha? Sorry my French is bad.

An alexandrin(e).  Mostly a french form used in the classical french era (XVII).  Molière is my favorite ( le Tartuffe).   But I am having a bit of sort of boxing match with a guy who calls himself Baldwin.  So I shall see if he likes my alexandrin....or not.  (Actually I don't really care what he has to say,   Kisses, Robert.   PS:  there are many forms of alexandrins, this is a very short form (tetra).
   For you, I would translate as:

This is a message
For a poet
With a nice future

But with a present
Hard and difficult
Hope and work

Will lead far
Success one day
And Nobel for sure.

Ahh. Thank you kind sir. The message is beautiful.


hugs,

Glad you like.    Kisses, Robert. (PS: so now there are TWO people who want to see a''prequel'' to the Last Trip......I shall have to go to work....

Whether I like your piece or not is not the issue since the challenge you were given was to  write in English something that in form  consists of of a series  two half-lines of six syllables each that are separated by a caesura  which may or may not be realized as a stronger syntactic break.   This piece of yours does not meet that challenge in a variety of ways, not the least of which is that your lines are not the right length or have the required meter,  but that that you  have moved the challenge's  goal posts to say that it does.

And where can I -- or anyone -- find any poetic form, let alone an Alexandrin(e) one,  known as a "tetra"?

Do inform yourself on the various forms of alexandrin.  (Voir aussi Victor Huge qui aimait le genre tétra).  
 
For now I will ''lower'' myself to the English stuff  considering,  dear Baldwin, some of your own limited capacities (and mine as well:  I must work on the ceasuraes).  
 
We are not spencerians, do not have the talent  
But we must strive onward to do the best we can  
 
It is never easy to commence or  to end  
The words are a treasure which surfaces with sweat.  
 
The end product  being your well-crafted jewel.  
I wish to write more lines and I will do in time  
 
Great works take time to write , knitting is not easy  
Possibly the last word as I near the coffin.

"Do inform yourself on the various forms of alexandrin.  (Voir aussi Victor Huge qui aimait le genre tétra)."

Please cite an authoritative source of poetic forms that shows one of the alexandrin form is called a "tetra."  There's no attestation to this claim sin, say, _The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics- or in Lewis Turco's _The Book of Forms_

And please cite  your source or sources for stating that there is such a thing as a "tetra genre" not to mention that this was something that  Victor Hugo  "liked".

Cue the ad hominems and the red herring filled response.

By the way, there is no  such word as ceasurae and the plural  of caesura is caesuras or caesurae.

You really are boring me to death;  just dor fun:  where are you from and please cite ALL your university degrees by alphabetical order of boredom.  Nothing, it seems will ever satisfy you. DO GO AWAY.

And just as I predicted -- a red herring and an  ad hominem as a repose -- a sure sign that you have no evidence that supports your claims.  Otherwise you would have produced things that demonstrated that your claims are true. and that you actually  know what you are talking about.  

In any case,  I'll  cite my degrees if you first cite yours.  And they don't have to be in any kind of alphabetical order.

"You are such a huge bag of wind."

That may be so, but that hardly shows,  as you should have done,  that what I said about your piece is wrong and that you know what you are talking about.

Unlike you, i do not have a photographic memory and sadly can't find the Hugo piece I have in mind. However, for the English stuff, you might note (as seen on la Poésie.org) that the tétra is liked also in english poetry:

Tétramètre trochaïque:
  Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater     (English nursery rhyme)
Tétramètre iambic
  Because i could not stop for death    (Emily Dickenson)
Also
Tétramètre anaseptique...........if you care to look.
 

tetra is not a cipher for tetrameter. Nor is it a word that has anything to do with poetry, let alone alexandrines:

MW  
tetra noun

tet·​ra | \ ˈte-trə  \
Definition of tetra (Entry 1 of 2)
: any of numerous small often brightly colored South American characin fishes often bred in tropical aquariums

Definition of tetra- (Entry 2 of 2)
1: four : having four : having four parts
tetravalent
2: containing four atoms or groups (of a specified kind)
tetrachloride

Fascinating.  You did not even care to look at the examples given,    Amazing how you keep picking your nose.  Found anything interesting in there yet?

I looked at them  The are some examples of various ways that poems are set out in tetrameter.  And they do not prove that there is form of an Alexandrine that is called or is known as a tetra.    
    
Nor is there a meter known as  anaseptique.  since anaseptique. is something that is used to prevent wounds from becoming infected.  

Presumably you meant anapestic.

Wikipedia:            Alexandrin
..................
Analyse rythmique.    Du fait qu'on tend à reconnaître deux mesures par hémistiche, on a jadis qualifié l'alexandrin ordinaire de TÉTRAMÈTRE pour qualifier les vers découpés en quatre mesures de trois syllabes chacune (3-3-3-3) on a pu parler de TÉTRAMÈTRE à débit régulier:
               
                Je le vis / je rougis/ Je pâlis/ à sa vue             Racine, Phèdre  acte I,  3,  v. 273.


 

"Rhythmic analysis. Due to the fact that we tend to recognize two measures per hemistich, we formerly qualified the ordinary alexandrine of TETRAMETER to qualify the worms cut into four measures of three syllables each (3-3-3-3) we could speak of TETRAMETER at regular flow:  
            
          I saw him / I blush / I turn pale / at his sight Racine, Phaedrus act I, 3, v. 273. "  
   
Nothing here shows that there is an Alexandrine form known as a "tetra".  
   
What it does show is that your piece above is not an Alexandrine in that its lines are not set out in hemistiches  let alone in tetrameter.

You wish to remain blind.  GO AWAY.

I wish you to post evidence for your claims.  So far, what you posted does not support them, shows over and over again that you don't know what you are talking about,  does not in any way address my remarks, or comes close to proving that they are invalid,  indicates that you have a need to put your foot in your mouth.

Cue (once again) the petulant, ad hominemed,  and red herringed  response.

If you want me to go away, stop doing this.

You are acting like a  cry baby   ''show me your credentials.  No you first.......I wanna a cookie..''   Get lost.

Another prediction come true.      
    
But thanks for putting words in my mouth.  If I want anything, it's not a cookie, but for you to do what seems impossible for you to do,  namely, to dispense with the snark  and, instead, to  speak directly and responsibly to my remarks about your claims by providing actual and relevant evidence that shows that your  claims about there being a genre or an "Alexandrine form"  known as a "tetra"

Nothing you have said so far in response to my messages to you comes close to doing this.  In fact, it increases the perception that you don't have the knowledge or the skill or the wit necessary to do what you have been asked to do.

I'd also like you to admit that the word "tetra" has no meaning that is associated with poetry  and that, as Google shows,  the referent of  "alexandrine tetra" is a fish (see  tinyurl.com/2exyj85f).

Does anyone here want to wager that R won't do this but will predictably respond with more characterizations of my person?
