This form I was introduced to by the wonderful poet/writer and fellow Brit Andrewagreen Please check out his several books of poems or stories that feature amongst other things; his travels, God, the Royal family, love and even his Mother's life story in verse which is fantastic!

A Malaysian verse form adapted by French poets and occasionally imitated in English. It comprises a series of quatrains, with the second and fourth lines of each quatrain repeated as the first and third lines of the next. The second and fourth lines of the final stanza repeat the first and third lines of the first stanza.
