Tall Trees

by Treischel

In my neighborhood
the trees are tall,
and in the fall,
they're looking good.
In my neighborhood
it's understood,
that best of all,
the stately wood
puts you in thrall,
as scenery should.
In my neighborhood
the trees are tall.

As you can see, these trees are taller than a 3 story house. This couple is walking in the Highland Park area of St. Paul. When I used to travel, I often noticed while on my return flight, that St. Paul is really a bunch of homes within a forest. You can really see that from the air.

This poem has 12 lines like a Sonnet with repeating lines like a Triolet. It has two rhymes only (an "a" rhyme, and a "b" rhyme).
The rhyme scheme is: ABaAababaAB, where the Capital letters represent the repeating lines.
The meter alternated between 4 and 5 syllables.
I added a 2 line Envoi.
