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.

A butterfly flapping gossamer wings, she is unaware of the breeze she brings. She's a natural beauty, sought by kings, but being no puppet, she cut her strings. And like a babbling brook, her laughter sings, the kind of girl men buy engagement rings. A cuddly pussycat, she purrs in bed, playing games till inhibitions are shed. An artist, she's skilled with needle and thread and a fashionista, she won't be led, not tethered to the past, she zooms ahead. Like an orchid, she exudes a sweet scent and speaks to me in a sexy accent. And always gives me one hundred percent, my guardian angel, she's heaven-sent. Armed with a smile, she thinks that I'm funny, Queen of the hive, She's as sweet as honey, a gourmet chef that likes her eggs runny. She's a provocateur, oft capricious, and yet, her kisses are so delicious. She's a Goddess, and yet, she is my wife. My confidant, she knows hearts aren't playthings she's a passionate soul, happily wed. She stretches hope to its fullest extent, wise as an owl and cute as a bunny. And the first time we met was auspicious, for that's when she chose me to share her life. (Minuanetta) 7/24/2018
