Excellent An Octogram Little Poems : A Corner Wall by Treischel

A Corner Wall (An Octogram) Such beauty that you can't contain Spills over the wall. In spreading green on stony grain, It gently falls, To add a touch of charming grace Across the front of low wall face, In pure delight, as leafage sprawl Spills over the wall. A feeling that you can't explain, When beauty calls. Its composition mark remains Stamped over it all. To keep another precious find We store forever in our mind, Like lovely colored camisoles, Spills over the wall. Author Notes This is just a wall along side the grocery store in Woodbury, Minnesota. Civic merchant pride is evident as there are lovely flower displays all over the area. I was out capturing some of the summer delights with my camera. Here is one, and the poem it inspired. This poem is an Octogram. The Octogram is a style of poetry invented by Fanstorian Sally Yocom (S.Yocom).
