The Florette is stanzaic, written in any number of either quatrains or cinquains: When written in quatrains the Florette is: syllabic, quatrains 8-8-8-12 rhymed, quatrains aaba ccdc etc with internal cross rhyme from L3 to the 8th syllable of L4. x x x x x x x a x x x x x x x a x x x x x x x b x x x x x x x b x x x a enjambed, L3 and L4 must be enjambed without endstop in L3.
