The Rondaful is a form created by Dolly'sPoems

It is a poem of three stanzas, with a syllable count: (10,10,10,4) (10,10, 10, 4) (8,8). The first four syllables and the last four syllables in stanza one and two, are repeated in consecutive order in the final couplet.

The rhyme scheme is indicated below.
x x x a x x x x x b
x x x x x x x x x c
x x x x x x x x x b
x x x x

x x x x x x x x x d,
x x x x x x x x x c
x x x x x x x x x d
x x x a

x x x a x x x x

At the suggestion of Pantygynt, I have added a cross-rhyme in Lines 4 and 5.
