Janice, I don't think it is a variant on a sestina, despite the six stanzas of six lines. I notice that the lines are eleven syllables long, so it may be an experiment with hendecasyllabics, but without necessarily obeying the classical metrical constraints. It also seems to experiment with using identity rhymes, usually but not always in lines 2, 4, 5, and 6.
