- Six stanzas of five lines each.
- Five words per line.
- A/B/A/A/B rhyme scheme.
- The last word of the last line of the last stanza is the first word of the first line of the first stanza, the penultimate word of the last line of the last stanza is the second word of the second line of the first stanza, the antepenultimate word of the last line of the last stanza is the third word of the third line of the first stanza, et cetera and on up the lines of the last stanza and down the lines of the first five stanzas.
- Because of this, the first words in each of the lines of the last stanza all rhyme with the B rhyme.
I'm not sure if such an intricate scheme of poetry is really good for anything other than the poem I've already written, but poets have a tendency to surprise you.
