The setting in this photograph, with the Bonzai tree, Asian trestles, stones, and chairs surrounded by natural fall beauty inspired this poem. I tried to describe its essence. I hope you enjoy it.

This poem is a Tri-rhymed Sextet with closing couplet. A Sextet is a poem with six line verses. Here, every 3 lines are mono-rhymed. I have been experimenting with Poems that contain three consecutive rhymes. Here, I also played with meter. Six lines with 2 sets of 3 rhymes, but also Meter that has an 8 syllable line followed by 2 with 6, repeated twice. So, for this poem, the entire rhyme scheme is:
aaabbb cccddd eeefff gg.
The syllable count is:
866866 866866 866866 88.

This photograph was taken by the author himself in October, 2014 at the Minnesota Aboretum.
