Someone might define it that way, but thre is also

a reverse 2 8 6 4 2

a double as 2 4 6 8 2 8 6 4 2

also called a mirror

and which can be reversed 2 8 6 4 2 4 6 8 2

and almost any set of 5 poems for a form is a crown

One more thing, grin. The best cinqs link lines 1 and 5 for a mini-poem. The best sets therefore link 1 5 in poem 1, 5 1 in poem 2 etc, and then 5 in the last to 1 in the first.

Good luck.

Smiles.
