You're thinking of Bishop's great "Visits to St. Elizabeths" I think, which is kind of a cumulative form, which I think was modeled after a Mother Goose rhyme that I can't think of right now. (I keep thinking Jack & The Beanstalk, but that isn't right).
As for the form, I don't know the name of either (Bishop or Mitchell) but they do seem a little bit similar.
eta: The House That Jack Built (google is my friend).
