The poem starts with the regular format of seven syllables in the first line and
progress down to one syllable in the seventh and last line. However, the second

the seventh and last line of one syllable and ends with the first line of seven
syllables. The form is 7/5/7/5/5/3/1/ and inverse 1/3/5/5/7/5/7. This form was
invented by Joseph S. Spence, Sr.
