| 1429320 | 2016-11-29 19:51:00 | There are good poems and then there's some really arcane and childish forms like Iambic Pentameter, Enjambments, Onomatopoeia, etc . In a poem, a pair of lines that are the same length and usually rhyme and form a complete thought are called a 'couplet' Those lines that have sounds that are the same are considered 'consonant-like' in that they have single syllabic meter per line . I thought about this for a long time . Following is an example of a poem that I wrote . espousing the lack of winter's signature here in Montana . There's just 'something missing' on the landscape . Figure it out yerselves! Hence - be prepared to be amazed at the sheer simplicity and the total mental picture MY poetic form creates in your head . I give you my newest Uni-Consonantial Couplet: No Snow by: Joseph P Vreeland |

Apparently it took 100's/1000's? of US army corps to hurry and contain it Disaster altered the landscape Then forming a massive shape Boom! An instant lake None other than Quake Lake |

| 1429326 | 2016-11-30 08:43:00 | As always, there's a Wiki entry... en.wikipedia.org Hebgen Dam and creation of the lake Hebgen Dam, built in 1917, is a concrete core and rock fill faced structure that sustained severe damage but continued to hold. Repairs were completed on the dam spillway in a few weeks. The landslide, which occurred downstream from the dam, blocked almost all the flow of the Madison River which began to fill in the void upstream from the slide. In less than a month, the waters had created what is now known as Quake Lake. The lack of a reliable water outlet for this new lake forced one of the largest mobilizations of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ever commenced in the western U.S. Before the new landslide was breached by the quickly rising waters, a spillway was constructed to ensure erosion and potential failure of the natural dam would be minimized. |
