Colorado Trail Overview




Today we hiked Colorado Trail (No. 1776) and Cottonwood Trail. Colorado Trail eventually branched into Cottonwood Trail, which we followed until the snow became too difficult to handle while day-hiking.We turned around at a massive rock formation, not before we enjoyed some snow bouldering. The elevation of the trails was about 11,000 feet at the trail head and 12,000 feet where we turned around to head down the mountain. Both of these trails are located on Mount Harvard, the third tallest mountain in Colorado.

Beaver Dam Estuary is a poem developed by Fibonacci, called a Fibonacci poem. The poem follows the Fibonacci sequence, with each line containing a certain number of syllables. Line one has one syllable, as does line two. Line three has two syllables etc until line ten, which contains 55 syllables. Unfortunately, the blog post is not wide enough to accommodate the entirety of the poem, so lines were broken up. Lines 7-8 are supposed to be read as a single, unbroken line. The same goes for lines 9-10, and lines 11-13.

Aspen Forest is by far the most difficult poem (to both write and make coherent sense) that I have written so far. It is a Rhopalic poem. In this poetic form, the first word of a line is monosyllabic, There is no restriction on line length or number, although lines past five words are extremely difficult. The fourth word of line four, "forestory," is a combination between "forest" and "story." As a result, it should be pronounced like "forestry" with an extra "o," or "forest-oar-y."
