Snowy Day
A taste of snow in the air
Wind and cold against my face
Raindrops splattering my hair
Storm clouds having a race
Wind and cold against my face
Frost crunching beneath my feet
Storm clouds having a race
Rain turns into sleet
Frost crunching beneath my feet
Raindrops splattering my hair
Rain turns into sleet
A taste of snow in the air

Twelve or more lines
Rhymes most often, 1st and 3rd, 2nd and 4th
First stanza is normal, first and third lines of second are 2nd and 3rd lines from first, first and third lines of third stanza are 2nd and 4th from second, and so on.
Last stanza is like the others, except that 2nd and 4th of it are the 3rd and 1st lines from FIRST stanza, respectively.
All other lines are normal.
Rhythm should be even throughout for better flow.
This form, if written correctly, has a beautiful flow and rhythm. The repeating lines complete the piece, wrapping and a bow on top; whipped cream and a cherry.I appreciate rhyming poetry, and I enjoy the challenge and beauty this particular form offers.
