Minute Poems

Poems produced in a minute,
not infinite
but very short,
a fleeting thought.

Poems so small but not minute,
they blow my flute
and so my song
won’t last too long.

Poems that measure the angle,
not new fangled,
less than degree,
a minute be.



Line count: 12
Form: Minute
For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 44
Prompt: Write a minute poem - 12 lines of 60 syllables written in strict iambic meter, three stanzas of 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables, rhymed aabb, ccdd, eeff.
