Exceptional An Octogram Poem Minnesota Poems : This Spot by Treischel

This Spot (An Octogram Poem) In stone fountain cool water drips Making a splash. Inspiring relationships, As droplets crash. With water and flowers full view, And hues of Autumn there too, The wonderful colors eclipse, Making a splash. Perfect place for idyllic trips Found in a flash. Lovely spot to kiss lover's lips With pure panash. This garden in downtown Duluth, Is wonderful warren, in truth. Into this well, wish of love flips Making a splash. Author Notes A beautiful spot on a stone bench by a fountain in the Rose Garden at Leif Erickson Park, in Duluth, Minnesota. The dripping water, roses, and autumn leaves make it a special spot for lovers. This poem is an Octogram. The Octogram is a style of poetry invented by Fanstorian Sally Yocom (S.Yocom). It consists of two stanzas of eight lines each, with a very specific syllable count and rhyme scheme. Syllable count is 84848884, repeat on second stanza. Rhyme scheme:ABabccbB ababddbB, where B repeats same text. No more than 16 lines. The tempo is tetrameter on the 8 count line, and dimeter on the 4 count line, but not iambic.
