The original huitain is a single verse, eight line poem with eight 

syllables per line. The rhyme scheme is a b a b b c b c. When 

it was adapted in English, the same rhyme scheme was retained 

but 10 or 8 syllables were used per line. There was no alternation 

between the syllable count. The huitain was all of 10 or all of 8 syllables

I’ve chosen to do the 10 syllable count. And I also tried to be a 

little naughty by employing alliterations with  letters d and b

a           dreaded dreary disorientated

b           definitely dastardly delinquent

a           dislodged dismantled and dissipated

b           dwindled to defenseless delirium

b           but balanced boldness brought benevolence

c           besieged bondage but bizarre bravado

b           began to beat and bash those beholden

c           brutal beastly barrage like a bronco

Note: The above revolved around a delinquent
Tom cat that was ill-treated but later fought back
