This poem is a series or interlocking Tercets. I designed this one with a syllable count of 12, 12, 10 in variable meter. The rhyme scheme pairs the first two lines of each Tercet with the following Tercet, in groupings of two stanzas. The third line rhyme carries through every line stanza of the poem. So it looks as follows:
aab aab ccb ccb ddb ddb eeb eeb.
