"Sibling" is a Minute Poem. This form follows a specific syllabic, line, and rhyming pattern created by Verna Lee Hinegardner, former Poet Laureate of Arkansas.
Excerpt from: Thinking Aloud/Allowed SIBLING Her heart was kind and full and weak, a comet streak. It filled their home then left them ‘lone. The husband and the family now plant a tree where once she stood within the wood. Her laughter carries ‘cross the years dispelling tears. She’s safe with God beyond the sod.

This is so heart touching. It reminds me of my mother and the tree we planted on her grave.

This is a very charming form for poetry, Patricia. Thanks for sharing it. The content is quite an interesting memoir, short like her life was, but satisfying. Connie
