Diminishing Verse Poem

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!
