This form consists of 3 stanzas.
Stanza 1 and 2 has five lines, and set the scene:
His blood dripped,
roses, red -
not unseen, but white
on the petals
of my life.
His wounds flowed Love, red - not unfelt, but healing on the hurt of my heart.
the third stanza 4 lines.
His Love flowed
as blood-dripped red
upon petals of hurt
giving Life to my heart.
There is no syllable count, but stanza 1 and 2 should form a progression refrain, culminating in the final stanza. To assure this, lines 1 and 2, and lines 3 and 4 of stanzas 1 and 2 are used to develop stanza 3.
While stanza 1 and 2 set the scene, the third stanza’s content should
offer or portray an outcome. This is done by using focus words [see highlighted wording] from these stanzas to develop stanza three.
Line 1 of stanza three: "His Love flowed"
Use any focus word in line 2 of stanza 2 [Love] and relate it to a focus word in line 1 of stanza 2 [flowed].
Line 2 of stanza three: "as blood-dripped red"
Take a focus word or words in line 1 of stanza 1 [blood dripped] and relate it to a focus word in line 2 of stanza 1 [red]
Line 3 of stanza three: "upon petals of hurt"
Take focus word in stanza 1 line 3 [petals] and relate it to the focus word in stanza 2 line 3 [life] or vice versa.
Line 4 of stanza three: "giving Life to my heart"
Take focus word in stanza 1 line 4 [petals] and relate it to the focus word in stanza 2 line 4 [life] or vice versa.

I love the deep reflectiveness ...
of this poetry form. It integrates rhythm and rhyme so nicely, and put it in the genre which I call REATION poetry: reason and emotion combined.
Love to you, Clever Poet.
