The Vers Beaucoup is French for "many rhymes".
Each stanza consists of four lines with a rhyming word scheme of:
a-a-a-
a-b-b-
b-c-c-
c-d-d
Each rhyme can only use a MAXIMUM of three words. The fourth "a" rhyme carried over to the second line causes enjambment and creates a strong internal rhyming structure. (Enjambment - The continuation of a syntactic unit from one line or couplet of a poem to the next with no pause.)
