Octaves with an Envoi
A chapter in the book Family
My Brother's Backyard
by Treischel
|
This is one of two ponds that my brother, Richard, has in his backyard. He owns several acres in Andover, Minnesota, which is a northern suburb of Minneapolis. He and his wife, Corrine, just celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary with a party in his backyard. He did all the landscaping himself. I like it out there.
I wrote this poem in Octaves (8 lines), having a refrain taken from part of the first line, and closed it with a one line Envoi. It is written in iambic pentameter, with a couple feminine lines. The entire rhyme scheme is:
ababcccR cdcdfffR ghghiiiR.
You'll notice my favorite set of triple rhymes.
