It was invented by
Lawrencelot of AP
There are 1 to 3
stanzas, each with five lines.
Each of the first
four lines have four syllables.
The last line has
either 5, 7, 9 or 11 syllables.
The defining feature
of this form is that it has internal staircase rhyme, as does the yadu, but
unlike the yadu it has right and left staircases.
Also unlike the
yadu, there is NO requirement that the poem have a theme about seasons.
Here is a syllable
schematic of the rhyme required.
a.O.O.b
O.a.b.c
d.b.a.e
O.d.e.c
O.e.d--.c
Where
"--" equals from 1 to 7 syllables
Example poem.
Maybe Time, by
Lawrencealot
Shine a dim
light
of fine
nightowl
sky; white
wine pour
for my poor gal.
She's sore. Why? I
dunno but I see a scowl.
I could
propose
then I 'spose she
would close my
night
out good, right? We
don't fight. Should
work for everybody.
