TRIPOD

The tripod is a 5-line, unrhymed, syllable-count structure. The syllable count is 3,6,9,6,3.
Here's an example from Poetry Patterns, A-Z by Mary Harper Sowell (deceased) or Arkansas.  


Desert Nomads

Tumbleweeds
drift across the desert,
driven by hot winds and shifting sands,
like ghosts of prospectors
still searching.
