Today's poetic form is the "Strambotto". It is pretty straight forward and rather simple compared to past poetic forms. A strambotto is comprised of 8 lines, 11 syllables per line and the following rhyming pattern : a/b/a/b/a/b/a/b
It's actually related to the poetic form "Ottava Rima" which I think I might've covered before but I'm not entirely sure.
Here's more info about it:

choreographed movements for each passing day
memorized with precision, danced by deft feet
tip-toeing around the flaws of my ballet
daring to slip into the cracks of conceit
treat myself to change, flip the script of this play
launch a rebellion against this cruel deceit
that renders me unable to find my own way
to know what it truly means to feel complete.
