Stanzaic, consisting of any number of couplets
Isosyllabic, Hexasyllabic lines
Rhyme Pattern: xbxcxa xbacxa, where b and c are interlaced rhyme, AND c is optional.
Note: The b and c rhymes can be found on any syllables.
- Essence is a
rhyming hexasyllabic couplet with internal rhyme with a twist. Normally in
English prosody "internal rhyme" refers to a word within the
line rhyming with the end word of that line or the end word of the
previous line. However in this verse form internal rhyme refers to words
from somewhere within the line rhyming internally within the next line, it
could be 1 or 2 rhymes. (This could be tricky in only 6 short syllables.)

in 1981.

My great thanks to Judi of PMO, for the above.
II made one change in the description. Instead of referring to the b and c rhymes as internal rhyme, I scalled them interlaced rhyme.
Rhyming a word in the middle of one line with a word in the middle of another is called interlaced rhyme.
Here, thanks to Bob Newman of Volecentral, is the most definitive list of rhyme types I have ever encountered. http://www.volecentral.co.uk/vf/rhyme.htm
My Example Poem
Bye Bye, Bad Boy
(Essence)
Next time you reel
me in
to climb and feel
and sin,
I plan to take to
bed
a man to slake
instead.
