I saw this along a street in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. Well, the muse struck me and I took the photo.
This poem is a Minute Poem.
The Minute Poem is a poem that follows the "8,4,4,4" syllable count structure. It usually has 3 stanzas that are exactly the same. So:
8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables.
A traditional Minute Poem has 12 lines total. It has 60 syllables (thus the minute). It is written in a strict iambic meter. The rhyme scheme is as follows:
aabb, ccdd, eeff.
In this one, I intentionally did not follow the iambic meter requirement. I hope you like it anyway.
