A chain of four tercets where

the first line is iambic pentameter,

second line is iambic tetrameter,

and third line is iambic trimeter,

and ending with an iambic pentameter couplet.

Rhyme scheme is axa axa xaa xaa aa

Example Poem

Be Machiavelian Now

The gimmee's joined the takers to bring forth hell

for Americans who can think.

Obama's fortunes swell.

My liberal friends who thinks his win was swell

STILL blame Bush and are quite amazed,

that the stock market fell.

The country that was so exceptional

will placate, those with rotten smell

who in cold dogma dwell.

The path from low to middle-class destroyed

by policies aimed to compel

hurting those who excel.

I must change tack, and join the thong and yell

for more and take it- hastening death's knell.
