Today, I decided to pick an Irish form to cover in honor of St. Patrick's day! It is called Breccbairdne! It's a quatrain (the example has three stanzas), 5 syllables in the first line and 6 in the rest, all lines end in a 2-syllable word and the word also must end in a consonant. Lines 2 and 4 rhyme with each other.
More about it here:

mimicking the waves
their effortless aplomb
when they battle troubles
they carry on becalm
whether it'd be heat
whether it'd be the gales
adapting's what they do
transformation prevails
wish I were nimble
my psyche to adjust
alas my spirit's crazed
can't be tied to a mast
