Rules:
Four syllables per line
The final syllable of the first line rhymes with the third syllable of the second line and second syllable of the third line.
The poem is conventionally written as an epigram, so it’s usually a clever or witty little poem.
Rhyme Scheme:
Here’s a visual representation of rhyming and non-rhyming syllables for each line:
xxxa
xxax
xaxx
Optional:
You may extend it into an interlocking chain by using the fourth syllable of the third line to start another cycle, as demonstrated in the following link: http://dversepoets.com/2012/11/08/formforall-than-bauk/
