Today's poetic form is Catena Rondo! here's a bit more info about it
https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/catena-rondo-poetic-forms
and these are basically the rules of it:
The poem is comprised of a variable number of quatrains
Each quatrain has a rhyme pattern of AbbA
The first line of each quatrain is also the final line of the quatrain
The second line of each quatrain is the first line of the next quatrain
The final quatrain should repeat the first quatrain word for word
[credit to Robert Lee Brewer for the above]
words unspoken compose a motley song
one fixed in my mind chanted by own voice
sometimes cheerful, an inspiring noise
words unspoken compose a motley song
one fixed in my mind chanted by my own voice
sometimes sorrowful filled with illusions of doom
consciousness transformed into a suffocating room
one fixed in my mind chanted by my own voice
sometimes sorrowful filled with illusions of doom
a mind potent with both the poison and the elixir
they fight for dominance and me the powerless fixer
sometimes sorrowful filled with illusions of doom
a mind potent with both the poison and the elixir
and a heart whose wounds with words fester
my very own cruel jester
a mind potent with both the poison and the elixir
words unspoken compose a motley song
one fixed in my mind chanted by own voice
sometimes cheerful, an inspiring noise
words unspoken compose a motley song
