Confluence Verse

I created (I think) a new style of poetry. But, really? There are so many styles out there. But this is the first I have seen.

This is the first poem written as Confluence Verse.  Please rip me a new one if you can -- that you know of such a style as this.

In whispers of twilight's gentle breeze (A)

Embrace the secrets of the ancient trees (A)

Their wisdom dances on the golden light (B)

As shadows weave through the veils of the night (B)

Soft petals bloom in the moon's tender gaze (C)

Unveiling tales from enchanted maze (C)

A symphony of stars adorns the sky (D)

As dreams and reality intertwine nearby (D)

With each heartbeat, the rivers intertwine (E)

Flowing melodies of life's grand design (E)

Where laughter mingles with tears' tender trace (F)

In the confluence of joy and grace (F)

The Confluence Verse unveils its lore (E)

Where diverse worlds meet and spirits soar (E)

In this tapestry of words, freely express (F)

Your unique voice, your truth, your finesse (F)

So let your pen dance on this rhythmic sea (E)

Confluence Verse, a canvas for you and me (E)

With boundless freedom, let your verses gleam (F)

In this poetic realm, fulfill your dream (F)
