Style: A poem with quatrains where the second and fourth lines of each stanza become the first and third lines of the next. Often meditative or repetitive in tone.

Poem:

The river sings a quiet song,

Its voice a hymn to time’s embrace,

Its current steady, deep, and strong,

Eroding earth with gentle grace.

Its voice a hymn to time’s embrace,

The stones beneath grow smooth with years,

Eroding earth with gentle grace,

The echoes soft, like whispered tears.
