I’ve written a few. 8 syllables per four line stanzas of rhyme aaab, cccb, dddb etc the b rhyme forming an ‘epic’ focus. I’m sick Andrew tired of the appropriated Japanese haiku form forced into service in the West.
Are any of yours online?

Poets consider most rules as mere suggestions… I like your rule breaking!
