Quintets and Quatrains
A chapter in the book Minnesota Poems
A Simple Walk at Lake McCarron
by Treischel
A Simple Walk at Lake McCarron (Quintets and Quatrains) I walked the path around the lake With choice of directions to take. I chose the way that's most serene, To see the sights that might be seen, Where willows blend with evergreen. I watched the clouds that drifted by In quiet sky of azure blue. A pleasant scene soon caught my eye, Beyond the growth I'm peeking through. See large homes on opposing shore, A sight a painter might adore. I stopped to look and take a break, To get relief from slight back ache, Sight camera for shots I'd take. I thank the Lord for this fine day - The water, sky, the trees and birds - That bless the soul in every way Beyond the scope of simple words |

With all the lakes and rivers in Minnesota, each neighborhood has it local lake. There is usually a path around it and a public beach on most city lakes. I like to find them and walk around them. This poem and picture is of Lake McCarron located off Rice Street in a Northwest part of St Paul. It has 72 Acres of water.
