The poetic premise remains true whether State or Federal Government.

I took this photo of the Capital of St. Paul one stormy day from a window in Region�¢??s Hospital. My wife was hospitalized 3 times within 5 months for heart problems, then pneumonia, and then sever back pain with a blood infection.

This poem is a Lisalet.
The Lisalet Poem:is a style created by Lisa Sherman on FanStory, that has a fixed format of repeating lines and, when rhymed, a forced set of only two rhyme choices in an abab rhyme scheme. The format repeats the first four lines in a structured reverse cascade down the stanzas follows:
1/2/3/4 - 2/5/6/1 - 3/7/8/2 - 4/9/10/3,
such that the stanzas incorporate the repeating lines as 1/2 - 2/1 - 3/2 - 4/3 as the first and last lines of each stanza. Note that while the lines repeat, the meanings transition to new or more deep detail.
The optional rhyme scheme becomes
A1,B1,A2,B2 - B1,a,b,A1 - A2,b,a,B2 - B2,a,b,A2.
The capitals represent the repeated lines. I hope that all makes sense. I chose the syllable count to be 8, but that is not a requirement.
The author took this photograph himself on August 29, 2018.
