The RemyLa Rhyme Form, a form created by Laura Lamarca, consists of 4 stanzas. Each stanza has four lines. The syllable count per stanza is 8/10/12/8 and rhyme scheme is abca defd ghig jklj. The first word of stanza 1 must also be the last word of stanza 4. The last word of stanza 1 must also be the first word of stanza 2 and the last word of stanza 2 must be the first word of stanza 3. Finally, the last word of stanza 3 must also be the first word of stanza 4.

This form is named after Laura's daughter, Remy Lawren Lamarca. La is her signature.

Example:

Of Feelings and face

Brushed aside from gladness of gains,
while windows berated internal sights
and emotions exploded before they reformed--
shivers sighed, as silence sang pains.

Panes wept sadness...until they closed,
as previous hues taught her heart to heat
and external facades masked a ferocious fear--
that future failed for facts supposed.

Supposed to choose a tighter way,
as repugnancy dipped its tongue in truth;
so she started to strip a delectable tale
to an aggressor's dying day.

Day crouched on shins, so still and hushed,
while the sound of survival was amplified
and she gathered escapism from filthy fists--
his backhander of hate...soon brushed.
