The Water Maid

by Treischel

The Water Maid
(A Dizain)




A pleasant sight, this tiny maid.
I spotted her unknowingly.
She's unadorned in flowered glade,
Toe testing water sheepishly.
Such a stunning spirit set free!

The setting was a luscious blend
Of color that bloomed end-to-end.
Enclosed in weathered cobble stone,
An artist's dream to comprehend.
Amazing she was there alone!





Recognized


Was she Real?

This water nymph is located in the Sunken Garden at the Como Park Conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota.

This poem is a Dizain.
A Dizain is a ten line poem with either 8 or 10 syllables.

The rhyme scheme is: ababb ccdcd
I have used eight.

In a Dizian you can divide the poem if you wish into two five line stanzas or two four line stanzas and a couplet. I chose the first format.
