An Octogram Poem
A chapter in the book Little Poems
When Waters Dance
by Treischel
When Waters Dance
(An Octogram) There is pure magic in the air, When waters dance. An artist put a fountain there. It isn't chance! Within the garden by the lake, Along the path that you might take, There lies a pool that speaks romance, When waters dance. Enclosed by ring of flowers faire, It will entrance. The Center rising with a flair, A simple glance Will see the rising ripples flash, Then throw the drops that make a splash Upon a pond where waves will prance, When waters dance. |

Water simply lifting from the center of a pool and cascading down in a splash of waves, makes a walk through this garden very pleasant. It's located in an alcove between buildings of an apartment complex in downtown St. Paul.
