The Sparrowlet is a six line stanza form with eight syllables per line invented by Katherine Sparrow, an author who lives in Seattle, WA, and organizes writing workshops there ( https://katherinesparrow.net/about/ ). The first half and second half of the first line are reversed as a refrain in the last line, with a rhyme scheme of

RRRA RRRB
xxxxxxxb
xxxxxxxa
xxxxxxxb
xxxxxxxa
RRRB RRRA

An example, along with a healthy discussion of the invention process, can be found in the following link: https://owlcation.com/humanities/Learn-to-Write-a-Sparrowlet-Poem .
