This poem is a Trilonnet Sonnet.
The Trilonnet, created by Shelley A. Cephas, is a 14-line poem made up of four each three-line verses of 8 syllables (iambic tetrameter) and one rhyming couplet or four each three-lined verses of 10 syllables (iambic pentameter) and one rhyming couplet.

Each 3 line verse is an unrhymed triplet. Each triplet has a rhyme scheme of abc. It is a sonnet in that it made up of 14 lines, although the volta may occur on a line other than line 9. There are 2 possible rhyme schemes for this form:

abc abc abc abc dd (here the rhyme is repeats).
or,
abc cba abc cba dd (here the rhyme rolls, or undulates)

This form is written in either iambic tetrameter or iambic pentameter.
