Why alligator? Well, in the original poem is the word Eternity .. 4 syllables. Since i had to write this poem to complete the exercise, i needed something to write about and i needed a 4 syllable word. I looked at a list of 4 syllable words. Alligator jumped out at me. Could it be a term of endearment? Sure, why not. So, that is why i chose alligator.
I used the Prompt you can find here
So after a lot of figuring it out here is my 'road map':
(‘Of old,’)( spake the priest;)( spake the par-son)( and prea-cher) – 12
(‘Af-ter death,)( O my Friends,)( af-ter death)( is E-ter-ni-ty.)’ 14
(‘Not so,’|)( cries my Spi-rit,)( ‘not so,)( O wise tea-cher)! 12
(It was), (and it is),(and it e-ver)( shall be) – 11
(Now, now)( is E-ter-ni-ty!)( Is it)( for thee?)’ 11
And my own new poem using the road map:

i liked his reaction too ... Charles is basically asking, 'What are your intentions with respect to my brother? Because Wren, I know what I'd like them to be.'
Charles is who we'd all like to have in our life. Someone we did not have to announce ourselves to. Someone who recognized it, and accepted it. Someone who gathered us up and said, "i love you, just as you are. you are loved and not flawed."
A rare thing. A beautiful thing.
