Diminishing Verse Poem
“Remove the first letter(s) in the end word in each line. No more direction than that.”
Roses are gorgeous and fragrant
Sometimes I want to rant
about the beauty of nature in the fall.
After all
I started this with nature and the photo,
and don’t want to
go on without drawing a picture in words that support
the beauty above, even though it is fall we are in, and a port
is important to go in a storm, the colors are all pretty and bright
and you know everything will be just right!
~
The beauty of nature and the words that will describe.
In all my days I haven’t been referred to as a scribe
except one time, when I took notes for a researcher.
I was told that I would be assigned to help her
find the most obvious materials for the research.
She knew she would have too much information to search
on her own and so I was brought on to be concise and clear.
I was concerned as I have some trouble with that and my ear
was itchy and my stomach ached. Will I be able to perform?
I completed the required form
and went quickly to work, taking notes and editing for an easier read.
I knew that she would be placing an ad
for another helper before long and I wanted to have something
ready to go for the next step in this research thing.
~
I really should take my time with this to get it in shape
but then again I could be writing about an ape
before long, you and I will lose interest.
It may be time now to get some rest!

Dear Mrs. D ~ I've missed you ~ Coincidence: We just clipped fragrant-fresh-flowers from our garden this morning. Yes, we all have our kitchen table game stories; especially on rainy days. I'm glad you liked 'Poker'. My Twin Brother actually plays Poker in tournaments - Me never - I'm publishing tomorrow 'Sugar Daddy' you may get a giggle out of it. Best to you, Jay
