Hey, just found a fun form:

The Fib (based on the Fibbonacci numbers)

It is syllabic:

1
1
2
3
5
8


Now
see
how fibs
came to be
a geeky blogger
originated a new form


That's basically how it works folks -- Sort of Haiku like, but a little more complex. Give it a go.

mixing threads of vivid colors

blue
wet
pod plants
tadpoles swim
underneath the shade,
hidden from the hungry racoon

sky
grey
storming
sunless days
spirit dampened
will the sun ever shine again?

the
gleam
of light
waxy leaves
continue to shine
in the gloom of a sunless day
