"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.

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
