It's called Clastic Mir.

Here's an example poem:
http://www.allpoetry.com/poem/3515212
Alternative link:
http://72.232.127.136/poem/3515212

The sequence is syllables:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1

And the letters make a pyramid with the 8 being shorter than the 7's on either side to look something like this.

b
bb
bbb
bbbb
bbbbb
bbbbbb
bbbbbbb
bbbbbb
bbbbbbb
bbbbbb
bbbbb
bbbb
bbb
bb
b

Similar to that. Oh, by the way, you don't have to have the beginning and end similar at all in the way of what words you use. Just for those who were curious.

If you have any questions, go ahead and ask!

      All the lines up to seven have the same number syllables as the number. For example:

      Line one has one syllable.
      Line two has two syllables.
      Line three has three syllables.

      And so on.
      Until line eight. Line eight has six syllables. Line nine has seven syllables. Line ten has six syllables. Line eleven has five syllables. Line twelve has four syllables. Line thirteen has three syllables. Line fourteen has two syllables. Fifteen, the final line, returns us back to one syllable.

      If you don't understand still tell me.

      Thanks for your interest!!!
