In a Plaza

I’m sitting in a plaza as I’m waiting for a friend. There’s a bench and breeze, both things On which you never can depend. I’ve got the time and also have My pencil and my pad, So getting here this early wasn’t Really all that bad. I hardly get to see this friend So this is such a treat. We’re seeing different plays, but still At least we’ll get to meet. A little conversation then A very welcome hug, Which is better for my soul Than any therapy or drug.

I enjoy how you consistently have lines hanging in every stanza. Is there a term for such a form?
