The Eight-ette is an eight line poem which starts with one syllable in the first line, two syllables in the second line, and continues to add one syllable to each progressive line until you get to eight syllables in the eighth line. There are two optional rhyming schemes: ababcdcd or aabbccdd An example can be found in the following link: http://poetscollective.org/poetryforms/eight-ette/ Let the creativity flow from your soul!
