Diminished Hexaverse
A poem containing stanzas of 5 lines, then 4 lines, then 3 lines, then 2 lines, ending with one word. The syllables in each stanza correspond to the number of lines, i.e. 5 in each line in the first stanza, 4 in the second stanza and so on.

Snow drifts atrophied on spring's arrival, silently shrinking into mud puddles as they disappear. Sunlight feels warm on naked skin, the air smells fresh and songbirds sing. Daffodils and tulips start sprouting. And the trees don green. (Diminished Hexaverse) 3/6/2021
