Just for the record, the pattern of a Laurielle would look like this: 

 

(A1)  Expressing words their task succeeds

(a)  Within my brain a notion seeds 

(b)    Poems and prose they must design  

(A2)  My hands filled with linguistic needs      

(a)    They write of love and hope it feeds   

(b)    The bones so delicate and fine       

(A1)  Expressing words their task succeeds

(a)    Creatively I plant the seeds

(b)    To stroke, caress and intertwine

 (A2)  My hands filled with linguistic needs

(a)    An ordinary thought proceeds

(b)    Curled on the concepts they define 

(A1)  Expressing words their task succeeds

(a)    Convey the gist each word agrees

(b)    to reach the page through hands of mine

(A2)  My hands filled with linguistic needs

(A1)  Expressing words their task succeeds

 

Do you know, I think you might be onto something?  It's regular, rhythmic, lyrical... could be a winner.
