Hi William, what you've done here is cool, though I can't understand your current contest... Especially the hidden part...is it - other lines should rhyme, only the alexandrine lines need not?

Alexandrine line rhyme every 6th syllable, not much leeway for intervent rhyme. My concept is based on sound and not words, with that said, syllables now become a whole rhyming word. 2 or 3 alphabets don't look like a word that you've extracted from the whole word that had 4 syllables. Say 3rd syl of that 4th syl word Alx claims as its 6th. Since 3rd is claimed, 4th hangs for that 4 syl word.

4th syllable now becomes the first syllable as you continue Alx count of six, but you can't split hence variant. 4th rejoins the 3 syllables and the word fully restored, but 3 syl belongs to the 1st Alx, and the 4th syl belongs to the next Alx 6 count syl. Hopefully, your Alexandrine will fall on the last syllable. 3 submitted their entries to be like that.

Agreed, ergo, after your matter of concern, an addendum was posted to the contest page, finding my answer appropriate ... of adequacy -- subjective. I'm unsure if you've read inklings of the plight I faced re my latter education, so I'll cut to chase via your sharing--

Enjoyed reading. Time will tell if the investment was good. I still have a lot I need to stop gazing and read. Blessings my friend William

Mahalo Eve, of stories that I've read to its completion, I don't remember any disappointments as the basis of prior knowledge before the purchase is a good indicator for me. Thank you my friend. Aloha William
