The Retrac is a 12 line syllabic form whose name is "Carter" spelled backwards. The structure consists of 12 lines with line structures of 2-3-4-6-8-10-10-8-6-4-3-2 and a rhyme scheme of a-a-b-b-c-c-c-c-b-b-a-a, as demonstrated in the following link: http://poetscollective.org/poetryforms/retrac/ .

My Dog Chewy
By Lisa Noe

The Dog
Wore a clog.
He looked funny,
It was very sunny,
Chewy was getting on my nerves.
While at the table it was stake I served.
It was all of his barking that I heard.
Very mad didn’t say a word.
Stole stake, took off running.
He was cunning.
I watched him.
Love Him.
