Writer's Cramp entry "attempt" at an Ae Freslighe!
This Irish form is not easy. While it is short, you have to keep the little rules for this form, to write it properly.

~ The Ae Freslighe can have more than one stanza.
~ Each stanza is built up out of four lines (a quatrain)
~ Each line has seven syllables.
# Line one and three use a triple rhyme (three syllable rhyme)
# Line two and four use a double rhyme (two syllables)
# You have to end line four with the first syllable word in the first line, or the complete line that you used to begin your poem with.

The scheme:
x x x x (x x a)
x x x x x (x b)
x x x x (x x a)
x x x x x (x b)
