I don't think that I've heard of this poetry form before, but found it on a poetry site.
A Jueju is a form that is a quatrain (four lines). It can be written with lines that have either five or seven syllables each. From the example I found, the lines do not (need to) have rhyme.

Ark landed on the mountain
Noah and his family come
God puts His bow in the cloud
Will not flood the earth again.

And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
~Genesis 9:11-13

I can't say that I knew what the form was called (other than a quatrain), but I do know that I have read and written plenty of them.
