Thanks. I don’t know what “lyric verse” is either but it looks like it is some kind of poetry that doesn’t rhyme. Sounds like some of the stuff hippies recited in the 60’s?

traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.

Take three (with weak seasonal reference?)

Meta Haiku:

The first line has five
Second, seven syllables
Then to five fall back
