This is a form I made up myself (at least I think I made it up) because it feels natural to write, and I think the triple rhyme x 2 is nice.
It's three stanzas with four lines each, the first three lines in each stanza has four iambic feet and the last one has three. The first thee lines in each stanza rhyme, and the last line of each stanza rhyme.
I've written a few poems like this, and will probably make a bunch more.

When evening cold had mangled love,
a collar chiming belly rub
could draw a bath and fill your mug
with honey ginger tea.
When open door meant wagging tail,
a sunshine wind in open sail
propelled you over jagged rails
to where you want to be.
The collar hangs inside a frame
and every walk and stick wrest game
is carved as deeply as your name,
into the bones of me.
