| There is not much information available about the person who developed this form, or when. It has one link though - time... as it is called the minute. Sixty seconds go in a minute. Sixty syllables go into The Minute.  These sixty syllables are divided over three stanzas. Each stanza has twenty syllables. So each stanza has the following syllable count: 8/4/4/4 The Minute has a rhyme scheme. It is not that difficult: a/a/b/b c/c/d/d e/e/f/f ( I have the idea that more experienced poets will change the rhyme scheme - as long as the rhyming is done in couplets I don't see any harm in this.) Shadowpoetry states that the Minute has to be written in iambic meter.Ah well... it takes longer than a minute to write, though in my opinion it is a cute form to play with. My example: Eternal memories... Waiting for the bus, you and I both a bit shy... same destiny close by the sea. Seven months of school, our bond grew always, we knew we could not miss our love... a kiss. Then on a winter day, we wed our vows were said eternally our kids...you... me!
