Thank you! I chose this meter (iambic tetrameter) because one of the most well-known pastoral poems ("The Passionate Shepherd to His Love") uses it. And as it happens, it worked out at a good length for the drabble. I suspect I would have had to do quite a bit more cutting if I'd chosen pentameter, with 2 extra syllables per line...
