Bramble Scramble
I scrambled on the hill,
avoiding any spill.
The rocks required some skill
to stay upright.
A covering of leaves,
hid brambles, thick as thieves,
and roots, I do believe,
lurked out of sight.
So pick your path with care,
some sturdy shoes to wear,
with lots of sunshine there,
not at first light.

A Violette, which seems to me a tail-rhyme with specific additional requirements: 6/6/6/4 stanzas with aaab, cccb, dddb rhyme. (You can
continue with more stanzas, all using the 'b' tail). There is a mention of a 'feminine rhyme', but I've not found a good definition for that yet.
