Doug, your wordcraft is stunning! What a brilliant idea to write from old Sol’s point of view. This is right up my alley. “Arise the Thor of thaw…” deserves to be a sign on my garden bench! Thanks so much for joining in! ❤
The other kind of nonpareil. We call them hundreds and thousands and piled on buttered bread, they were staples of every children’s party and known as ‘fairy bread’. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonpareils
Good fun. Some nice word play going on here Doug. Bet you enjoyed writing it.

Thanks, Hobbo. ‘Enjoyed’ is probably stretching it a bit, given the restrictions of the format but I’m sure I’ll appreciate it when I grow Up. 🙂

The nonpareils I’m most familiar with, and LOVE, are the chocolate candies with white bead-like sprinkles on them 🙂

I agree with Hobbo. Perhaps the restrictions allowed for Doug to stretch a bit and create a more fabulous piece?

I was thinking more of a Shakespeare iambic, but I suppose he cheated too often for that comparison to work.
