Minuanetta
Invented by Gregory R Barden it's comprised of at least six stanzas, each stanza consistent with itself in rhyme, and decreasing in the number of lines with each stanza, with the final stanza created of one line of the rhyme of each stanza, a rhyme scheme of AAAAA, BBBB, CCC, DD, E, ABCDE.

      

Listen to the trees laughing in delight as brisk breezes tickle their leaves at night. And watch fireflies signaling love with light that they flicker on and off in full flight, creating a somewhat surreal sight. As twilight tints alabaster clouds pink, a scarlet sun silently starts to sink. And silhouettes merge; the sun starts to shrink as dusk darkens, and night is on the brink. A crescent moon glows in a starry sky, looking like a celestial butterfly whose beauty's impossible to deny. And trillions of stars soon reveal their face peeking through the ebony veil of space as daylight awaits the rebirth of Dawn. Nature dons a tiara of starlight and dapples shadows with Her blackest ink. While the sound of crickets chirping nearby, stridulating for mates hidden someplace adds sound to this nighttime phenomenon.
