Yep! I've never been there, but still dream of a long driving summer vacation starting in early May leaving St. Louis and taking Interstate 44 southwest heading out west all the way to California and then heading north and looping back to St. Louis by the end of September....with stops at all the beautiful places including the Grand Canyon, the towering red woods, Yosemite and then up to Mt. Hood and then heading east to Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore and then heading southeast back to home. I just may do it one of these years too!

BB, I was hoping to be first out of the starting gate, but @Brayon had the faster steed. Oh wells, the sentiment does not diminish in the slightest.
Happy Birthday, dear friend. I hope you have a wonderful day...

It's after midnight where I live! Happy Brithday!

@Daddydavek Columbia River as it runs through the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area between Washington and Oregon. Mt. Hood in the distance. -
Very creative. This could be the starting point for a truly unending story. Adapted for TV, it could become the serial to end all serials.

So, it's going to be a struggle to wait until the updated versions com out.

Ya gotta watch those trouble-makers. Thanks for a great ending to the holiday weekend. -

Metre Prompt - Sweet Alligator
Backwoods Boy commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Metre Prompt - Sweet Alligator
I love the alligator! It takes a flight of fancy to match an idea to the form. -
Thanks for your observations, my friend. I appreciate your support. Given the exercise constraints, it required several trips to the online thesaurus as there are other words that might better have been used. A longer poem might bring more to the table too. Given the nature of the subject, I might revisit it if and when when AC gets to Limericks.

Thanks for your encouragement, AC. I had fun with this once I finally came up with an idea. Yes, I'm noticing metre, and I've become more conscious of it in works that are not intended to be poetry. Reorganizing a sentence in a story can make it much more readable simply due to the rhythm produced. It has played into other writing and also suggestions made while editing. Given that and the syllable-count concepts already presented, I've been wondering if someone has perhaps by now written a book on The Mathematics of Poetry. I'll have to go looking.
