PantyGynt, a new form

Try a fun and musical new form that was recently created by fellow Fanstorian PantyGynt and named after him by Tfawcus.

This form is written in iambic meter.
It can contain multiple "cycles".

One cycle has the following elements in order:
1. a quatrain of alternately rhyming [abab] iambic tetrameter (8 syllables), alternating with iambic trimeter (6 syllables);
2. a tercet of mono-rhyming [ccc] iambic tetrameter (8 syllables)
3. a single line of iambic trimeter (6 syllables) taking up the b rhyme of the quatrain.

Here's an example of a cycle:

8 syllables, rhyme A: The winter winds embrace her shape
6 syllables, rhyme B: with silken silver snow.
8 syllables, rhyme A: Her fleeing feet still can't escape
6 syllables, rhyme B: what's torturous to know.

8 syllables, rhyme C: His face follows her from the moon,
8 syllables, rhyme C: a crescent smile that seems immune
8 syllables, rhyme C: to earthly feelings or Hell's doom -

6 syllables, rhyme B: her mournful afterglow

Please have fun with it!
