This form was invented by  Marnie Kanarek aka  Hyper_Music on Allpoetry.
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.

Example Poem:

Tell Me of Your Anger in Whispers (Passion Sonnet)

Oops Wait! Don’t speak out in anger now dear.
I want to be receptive not hostile.
Instead come close and whisper in my ear
for whispers naturally make me smile.

If anger boils now dear, just wait a while
then hold me and whisper andbe amazed.
for whispers naturally make me smile.
All your concerns will quickly be appraised.

for whispers naturally make me smile.
and angry is not how I prefer you.
Just state what you need without any guile.
and it will be yours quite before we’re through.

Oops Wait! Don’t speak out in anger now dear.
Instead come close and whisper in my ear.
