Waterfall(Cascade)

by Jad   May 9, 2010


A descending waterfall,
Gushing down the edge,
Battering the rocks beneath.

Rapidly going forth,
Undisturbed by man-
A descending waterfall

Residing in many places,
Never stopping it's flow,
Gushing down the edge.

Watching it journey on its way,
And it now reaches the bottom,
Battering the rocks beneath.

__________________________________________________
Cascade, a form created by Udit Bhatia, is all about receptiveness, but in a smooth cascading way like a waterfall. The poem does not have any rhyme scheme; therefore, the layout is simple. Say the first verse has three lines. Line one of verse one becomes the last line of verse two. To follow in suit, the second line of verse one becomes the last line of verse three. The third line of verse one now becomes the last line of verse four, the last stanza of the poem. See the
structure example below:

a/b/c, d/e/A, f/g/B, h/i/C

    You did a wonderful job with the form. Love the subject, a waterfall. All I have to do is close my eyes and I can see it as you described and hear the sound it makes.
