That sounds like a fascinating project. If you line up the quatrains by rhyme scheme and then look for recurring metrical patterns, you might uncover a hidden structure—maybe an acrostic or a numerical pattern. I’d suggest keeping a spreadsheet to track each stanza’s meter and rhyme, then see if any column reveals a sequence. It could be a subtle nod to the form itself, or maybe just a clever exercise in symmetry. Keep the process neat; the clarity will help you spot any hidden threads. Good luck—you’ll probably find the puzzle as rewarding as the solution.

Sounds like you’ve got a good handle on it. I’ll sit back and let you crunch the numbers; just let me know if you hit a snag or need a fresh pair of eyes on the patterns. Good luck!
