Strombotto Toscano
Similar to the Ottava Rima but consists of eight strict hendecasyllable lines (11 syllables)
This form is used for stand alone poems but can be used for multiple stanzas. When writing
muliple stanzas it is usual to link each stanza by either a refrain or using the whole or part
of the last line of the previous stanza as the first line of the next stanza:
x x x x x x x x x x a
x x x x x x x x x x b
x x x x x x x x x x a
x x x x x x x x x x b
x x x x x x x x x x a
