It's fun though.

I like the concept very much -- the grammar lets it down, however, since there needs to be punctuation or a line break. I know it's all super trendy to cummings things up without caps and punctuation, but even cummings would have broken the line somewhere (probably after "cliff"). Why am I so mean? Because I'm tired of the prejudice against semi colons! One here would immensely improve the piece and keep in on one line.
By the way, can we please start spelling the word correctly? It's
monostich -- a
stich is a line of poetry, pronounced "stick".
