Working off the poetic form of the Yadu, it is possible to produce a climbing
rhyme which is continuous and circular in nature, a poetic structure which has
neither beginning nor end. The reader may, thus, begin reading at any point in
the poem. A poem with continuous climbing rhyme may be composed with the
following structure, though more complex variations on this theme are possible
and desired:
__ Z __ A
__ __ A __
__ A __ B
A __ B __
__ B __ C
B __ C __
__ C __ D
.. ...
.. ...
Y __ Z __

The above variation is based on four-word lines in which the rhyming words are
shifted across each of the four words. Rhyming groups may only be utilised a
single time. It is possible, however, to increase the number of words to the
line, syllabically constrain the text, or layer on any other myriad of
compatible constraints.
Eg: A cycle of 3 rhymes

V2:
The following is a variation in which all words have a rhyming partner. There
are no words which are "dangling," so to speak. The "non-dangliness" of the text
reveals itself once you have returned to the beginning.
