Como Frog Pond

Como Frog Pond
(A Kyrielle Poem)

When lovers want to be alone
Among trees and water and stone,
The perfect place where hearts respond,
Right here at the Como Frog Pond.

It creates an idyllic scene,
While intrigued by small brown and green
Friends on the lily pads beyond,
Right here at the Como Frog Pond.

There's a feeling there that's solemn,
Standing by a Roman column.
They come in hope romance is spawned,
Right here at the Como Frog Pond.

Young couples may spend a day there,
Allowing new friendships to flare.
No better place for growing fond
Right here at the Como Frog Pond.

Some people plan their wedding day
In nature's church, their vows they say,
To join as one in loving bond
Right here at the Como Frog Pond.

Como Park in St. Paul, Minnesota has many beautiful spots where weddings are held. This is just one of them. The Roman Copula stands above a lovely pastoral tableau that includes the pond and vistas of the park. Not shown in this picture is a huge frog statue in the center of the pond.

This poem is a Kyrielle.
A Kyrielle is made of quatrains that rhyme. Each stanza (that is a quatrain) has a line that repeats a line from a previous stanza. That line usually is (but does not necessarily have to be) the last line in the stanza.

Each line in the poem has eight syllables. There is no limit to the number of stanzas. Usually there are three or more stanzas.

Any type of rhyme scheme can be used. For this poem I chose to use an aabb rhyme scheme.
