I count six rhyme schemes.  Actually five, but the first one is repeated.
Is that last stanza in error, or is it really a six stanza poem?

Or are you suggesting the poem can be any multiple of five stanzas, with the
five rhyme schemes repeating?

Regarding naming the form...assuming it is five, or a multiple of five,
stanzas:
How about: Pentagon
that certainly corresponds well with the first two subjects

> possible subjects:
> 
> the spirit of dissent
> cycles of growth, consumption, waste, decay
> an emotion with no names
> the color blue

(If it's six stanzas, you could go with sexagon....but those who didn't know
Latin might get the wrong idea...)
