Love(Cascade)

by Jad   Sep 27, 2010


Serendipity flows forth,
Indulging moments together
Attempting new feelings.

Imagining new beginnings,
continuing ever more as
serendipity flows forth.

Hands clasp together,
Sharing emotions abundantly
Indulging moments together.

At last we open up
Letting love flow freely,
Attempting new beginnings.

__________________________________________
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

    Austin, this is a wonderful poem about love. I am impressed with your ability to convey such mature thoughts in your work and yet be so young. You are improving more and more with each work you post.
