The Meadow Is Greening

The meadow is greening, a little each day Buds are beginning to swell with anticipation, Small, furry creatures are appearing to play The meadow is greening, a little each day. Soon the larkspur will appear in full array, As I stroll through with fond admiration The meadow is greening, a little each day, Buds are beginning to swell with anticipation. As I stroll through with fond admiration The meadow is greening, a little each day Soon the larkspur will appear in full array, Small, furry creatures are appearing to play Buds are beginning to swell with anticipation I cannot conceive of a more lovely location.
written February 22, 2022 [a Trionet, fusion of the repeated lines of a triolet with the 14-lines of a sonnet, a poetry form I invented.]

Can I ask a few questions about this form? So the top 8 is a triolet, and the only additional new line is line 6 of the second stanza, correct? And all rhyme with either a or b? Regarding meter, triolet mentions iambic tetrameter, but that's obviously not the case here. So meter is not required to be the same for each line. I look at many other poems that are declared to be 'triolet' (not your trionet fusion), and they seem to disregard the iamb/tetrametr too Just trying to learn - thanks!
