ABAB Quatrains with refrain and Envoi
A chapter in the book Minnesota Poems
Mall of America
by Treischel
Mall of America (ABAB Quatrain with refrain and Envoi) Just an Amusement Park inside Mall of America A shopping mall of several floors An outdoor replica Inside Whether it's hot or cold outside The climate says Welcome To shop or take a thrilling ride Grab a meal when you come Inside When winter's cold gives you the blues There's a place you can go When summer's heat creates issues Airconditioned airflows Inside In here you can shop 'til you drop A family friendly place Enjoy the food and clothing shops Even free parking space Inside So come and play Shop all day Inside |
My grandson just had a 9th birthday and his parents took him to Mall of America. It a huge shopping mall that is a major tourist attraction here in Minnesota. Aside from being a refuge from the weather, is has 4 large floors of shopping and restaurants. The 4 parking ramps around it are free. Minnesota does not tax clothing. There is a huge amusement park and an aquarium in the middle of it. It is located just 10 minutes away from the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and about 25 minutes away from my house.
So, I thought I'd do a poetic series about it. I hope you like it. Here's the first.
This poem is structured as a set of abab rhymed quatrains with a one word repeating refrain - Inside. It also has a closing envoi. The syllable count is /8/6/8/6 on the stanzas, and 4/3/2 on the Envoi. Lack of punctuation is intentional.
The author took this photograph himself in July 2012 at Mall of America.
