I picked this form because reaching goals are a step-by-step process and this form is created in a specific step-by-step process when creating it (see the requirements for how each line is to begin).


Valerie Peterson Brown is the poet that came up with this newer* poetry form.


*Forms created within the last 25 years or so are forms that I consider newer



MUST HAVES

A every morning drinking coffee
B especially when it is cold outside
A eventually I quit drinking Kaffie
B even as I become clear eyed.

C very fine day indeed
D verily the news unfolds
C vilifying those villains I read
D verifying those who are strangleholds

Every morning watching the news
F eventually by late afternoon
E even as I watch get the blues
F ever more fearing the end times soon

G verification that all is gloom and doom
H very soon all will be over
g verily we are all waiting for the tomb
h.very much drinking leading to handover
