Brazilian Haiku
Brazilian Rhyming Haiku
Quite an interesting variation of the haiku which originated in Brazil, a haiku which rhymes in a set pattern:
x x x x A
x B x x x x B
x x x x A
I suppose it is easier to rhyme in Portuguese than in English:
flowing amazon
paltry vapors so sultry,
steamy paragon

I have also seen rhyme patterns aaa and abb indicated.
My example
crying little boy
was stopped by the thoughtful cop
handing him a toy
