Poems Parade

Dwelling in glossaries to mine
Expressions shine
Similes strike
Meanings alike

Vocabularies march in rhyme
Syllables climb
Metaphors sly
Emotions fly

My words welcome to the parade
As verses braid
Deep emotions
Blooming poems

Minute Poem

The rules are rather simple:

3 quatrains (or 4-line stanzas)

8 syllables in the first line of each stanza

4 syllables in the remaining lines of each stanza

rhyme scheme: aabb/ccdd/eeff

written in strict iambic meter

So each stanza contains 20 syllables times 3 stanzas equals 60 syllables total. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, I'm going to go out on a limb and proclaim that's the origin of the name minute poem.
