This poem is a Complex Alliterisen.
The Complex Alliterisen is an invented verse form originating in India. Udit Bhatia, a student at Delhi Public School System, first created the form. It relies heavily on alliteration and carries a variable syllabic meter. Here is a format with mathematical skill requirements, as it adds and subtracts syllables to determine the length of each line.

The Complex Allitersen is determined as follows:
1. A heptastich, (a poem in 7 lines).
2. Syllabic. The first line of the poem sets up the number of syllables for each subsequent line. L1,L6, and L7 are the same number of syllables.
Formula:........................Example 1...Example 2...Example 3
L1= x syllables...................6.................8................10
L2= x + 2 syllables.............8.............. 10................12
L3= x -1 syllables...............5.................7..................9
L4= x + 1 syllables.............7.................6................11
L6= x syllables....................6.................8................10
L7= x syllables....................6.................8................10
