A Minute poem

The rules for a minute poem:
  • 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
Recovery in twelve clear moves
each one improves
the life, the heart
and makes a start

to right existence, mend the soul,
reclaim control
of hopelessness
to happiness.

a simple, not easy way of life
made free from strife,
God's way, not mine,
the two align


a life worth living, peace abides
whate're betides
the life you'd choose
and then pursue
