UnBrOkEn (Hour Eight, A Non-traditional Minute Poem)

UnBrOkEn

 

Too blind to see, too deaf to hear

A four-eyed freak

with Bluetooth ears

But wait, there’s more…

Adorned with spots from head to toe

and facial hair

so bright it glows

for all to see…

Encumbered by ADHD,

high A1C,

and wonky knee…

Yep, that be me!

 

(A traditional minute poem is made up of 60 total syllables divided among three stanzas of four lines each, with the syllabic count of 8/4/4/4. Traditional minute poems are written in iambic pentameter following a rhyme scheme of aabb, ccdd, eeff. To save myself the struggle, I have eliminated these last two requirements, resulting in the non-traditional minute format displayed here.)
