Triolet
A French verse form. Its rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB and all lines are in iambic tetrameter; the first, fourth and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines, thereby making the initial and final couplets identical as well. The features of the Triolet are: 8 lines. Two rhymes. 5 of the 8 lines are repeated or refrain lines. First line repeats at the 4th and 7th lines. Second line repeats at the 8th line.

James Stewart was a prolific actor,
superstar of the stage and silver screen.
His lanky frame wasn't a detractor,
James Stewart was a prolific actor.
His deliberate drawl was a factor,
he'd draw the audience into each scene.
James Stewart was a prolific actor,
superstar of the stage and silver screen.

He'd draw the audience into each scene,
as the most popular star of his day.
With his shy stutter and sly smile routine,
he'd draw the audience into each scene.
His roles were never vulgar or obscene,
neither in films nor in a Broadway play. 
He'd draw the audience into each scene,
as the most popular star of his day.

Oh, how I cried when I heard he had died. Like you, I loved his presence in my life and his lanky body, distinct voice and talent were a familiar yet exciting thing to behold each time I watched a movie with him. He is definitely in my life's backdrop and your creative poem is of a talent and content that blesses his 'essence', if you will. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
