Minuanetta
Invented by Gregory R Barden, it's comprised of at least six stanzas. Each stanza is consistent with itself in rhyme and decreases in the number of lines with each stanza, with the final stanza created from the line rhyme of each stanza, a rhyme scheme of AAAAA, BBBB, CCC, DD, E, ABCDE.
I see wonder wherever I look,
be it the sea or a babbling brook.
Decoding Mother Nature's Handbook,
Time scribes Her secrets in its scrapbook
cataloging every niche and nook.
I need but gaze at a starry sky
or hear the honks of guess flying by
to appreciate Earth; I oft sigh
picturing sunsets in my mind's eye.
All colors of the rainbow adorn
Gaia's landscapes, time-tested and worn,
enriching our world from rose to thorn.
And when a sea of stars starts to pool,
Luna's moon glimmers like a jewel.
Our planet's a blue marble in space.
Earth's sights are easy to overlook,
I pause to see them, or at least try.
And when I do, I oft feel reborn,
realizing that only a fool
would not be wonderstruck by this place.
