Poetry form: Minute Poem — The Minute Poem is a rhyming verse form consisting of 12 lines of 60 syllables, formatted in 3 stanzas of 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables. The rhyme scheme is aabb, ccdd, eeff. This is another poetry form not listed in PoetrySoup's "Types of Poems. As my October 2024 blog post mentioned, Brandy Nicole introduced me to the Minute Poem.
When I was very young, whenever I experienced something really great (presents, vacations, day trips, etc.), I would ask, "Mommy, am I in my eyes?" I guess as a child, that was my way of saying, `I must be dreaming.' And she would smile and say, "No, honey, this is real." And we'd laugh.
