I just wrote a poem with one and it seems to sound okay. To me, anyway. Maybe it's just because I wrote it.
But does it actually exist? I mean, have people used it before?
Sorry, I don't know a lot about rhyme schemes and such.

Well, here's one stanza. Sorry the poem is kind of bland, I was attempting the new rhyme scheme=P
There are so many ships lost out at sea,
yet I remain untouched in a solo canoe,
in a dried up river at the end of the earth
Where everyone ceases to be.
Sound okay?

I can't think right now of any example, but I'm sure it's been done. However, if you could make lines 2 and 3 rhyme without distortng the poem, you'd definitely be on safe ground! You'd have what's called an "In Memorian " stanza.
Later:
Having read the stanza you posted in the meantime, I wouldn't want to tamper with it. I like your imagery!

technically, when your a poet, you can use any rhyme scheme, so this should be a fine rhyme scheme. i don't know if anyone's ever used it though. Why don't you post the poem? Then we can tell you if the rhyme scheme sounds good. (we being anyone who answers you)

Everything's been used before;
...I think...
Anything can sound O.K.
Just enjoy the words in spite of rhyme detour!

i do not know if anyone has used it but you are the poet, if it sounds good, use it.
