She Only Had Herself
A Diminishing Verse Poem
Wishes were for Genies to grant For now, she could only rant Everything seemed too big for an ant ~~~~~ Her brain ran out of space Her problems made her pace To calm her mind, she needed to ace ~~~~~ She was fidgety as she sat on the chair Lost her marbles, wanted to yank out her hair Then surmised she needed some air ~~~~~ Going outdoors was overwhelming to start So instead she would bake a tart On it, she would design some art ~~~~~ She invited her best friend over for a chat Baked the tart after putting on her chef's hat Her design on it was pulchritudinous to look at ~~~~~ She put the piquant tart on a plate Her friend didn't show up, it was getting late In the end, alone she ate
The Diminishing Verse Poem is commonly written in tercets (three lines in each stanza)
The last word of each line gradually “diminishes” from one line to the next, usually by removing one or two letters from the beginning of the word.
An example of this would be the transition from “smart” to “mart” to “art”.
