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.)

Author Notes
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.
