A Silly Florette

Yum!

by damommy

 
Delights await in Autumn time,
just as the year has passed its prime,
when eventide comes early now.
we’ve made it through the day somehow when vespers chime.
 
Then I prepare myself a treat,
and sit me down prepared to eat.
 It’s very good.  In fact, the best-
a candied apple.  Have you guessed?  (My pome’s complete.)

 



Recognized


I used 'pome' as a sort of play on words, either as a fleshy fruit such as an apple, or the way poem is sometimes pronounced. lol

The Florette, created by Jan Turner, consists of two or more 4-line stanzas.

Rhyme scheme: a,a,b,a
Meter: 8,8,8,12
Fourth line requirement of internal (b) rhyme scheme, on syllable 8.

Like the outgrowing of a small flower, the forth line of each stanza is longer, and enwraps the previous lines. Line #4 requires an internal rhyme scheme that rhymes the eighth syllable with the end of line #3, and continues to add on four more syllables than the other lines so that the fourth line ends rhyming with lines #1 and #2.
