A Walk in the Park
(Triolet)
Walk in the beauty of the park
with water running through the rocks
on pathways lined with cedar bark.
Walk in the beauty of the park,
where imagination might spark
thoughts of quite romantic talks.
Walk in the beauty of the park
with water running through the rocks.

Author Notes
Wouldn't this park spark romantic thoughts?
This poem is a Triolet.
A Triolet is a poem with a fixed format. This one has a syllable structure of 8 counts or tetrameter. It is a poem of only eight lines with a rhyme scheme of only two rhymes (a and b) that can be represented as follows: ABaAabAB, where the fourth and seventh lines are the same exact line as the first. The eighth line is the same exact line as the second (This is represented by the capital letters shown). So, it is very important to compose the first two lines carefully so that the entire poem flows well and is enhanced by the repeats.
The photograph was taken by the author at the Japanese Gardens located at Como Park in St. Paul, Minnesota.
