A good idea for a minute poem. The title made me want to read it.

Line 2 and the last line are 5 syllables, not 4. Also, the 'Sunset' line needs to be 8 syllables. "But when it comes to the sunset", or something similar. Hope that helps.

Hello Mystery Writer!
How I adore and crave coffee, and I enjoyed your poem.
However, it is lacking in a number of the Minute form's requirements:
1. The Minute Poem is rhyming verse form consisting of 12 lines of 60 syllables written in strict iambic meter. The poem is formatted into 3 stanzas of 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4.
Your poem is composed of the following syllable count in 3 stanzas
8,5,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 4,4,4,4.

2. First two lines need to rhyme, but must not be the same word:
morning, morning.

3. A Minute poem needs to be written in strict iambic meter: short/long/short/long or one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.

Plenty of time to edit.
Hoping I have not offended!

Best Wishes.
Let me know when or if you choose to amend.

Take Care,
diane

    thanks, Diane for the detailed critique. I will revise it accordingly. I have a hard time with iambic meter which is why I usually avoid writing it.
