A chapter in the book Picture Poems

Span the Creek

by Treischel

Obstruction absorbs attention span
when into which all ran.
Any raging creek could ruin a plan,
but a little bridge can
span the creek.

A path sometimes needs an engineer
to bridge the hemisphere.
When allowing folks to persevere
problems will disappear.
Span the creek!

Such improvements do upgrade our parks,
thoughtful civic landmarks,
providing pride of nature hallmarks
whenever manmade arcs
span the creek.

Appreciation comes on feet and wheels
from reduced trek ordeals
on pathways to which long hikes appeal
when wood and structured steel
Span the creek.




Without a bridge our parks would be much harder to traverse. I feel lucky to live in a place where nature is opened up around all lakes and many parks.

Coles Rhythm: a new style created by Gungalo, a major force here on Fanstory, who has since departed. She passed away in May of 2014. She was a free spirit who lived in the Virgin Islands. All her poems reflected romance and beautry. She was my mentor for several years, and taught me many formats. This is one she created.
Syllable count is: 9-6-9-6-3 for each verse.
Rhyme scheme: aaaaR bbbbR ccccR ddddR. The "R" is a 3-syllable refrain and each should rhyme or repeat the other in every verse.
You can have as many verses as you want.
