Poetry Styles is a website that briefly explains the how to of many classic verse forms and includes some invented forms that appear to have originated within its community of poets, especially the webmaster Christina Jussaume. Several of Christina’s invented forms have some spiritual feature. I have found some of these forms on other sites. I also include them here.

The Acronet is an invented verse form that appears to be a combination Acrostic and Nonet created by Patricia A Farnswort-Simpson in 2008.
The Acronet is:
-
a poem in 18 lines made up of 2 nine line stanzas.
-
syllabic, 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 syllables per line.
-
rhymed at the discretion of the poet.
-
an acrostic, the first letter of each line when read vertically spells out a phrase.
