Lai poems are French style poems with a rhyme pattern of a-a-b-a-a-b. All the a-rhyming lines are 5 syllables, and the b-lines are 2 syllables. These poems must be a minimum of 3 lines, but they have no limit. The only restriction is the number of lines must be a multiple of 3, like 9, 21 or 30.
Example: by Frank G. Poe, Jr.
