I love the flowing waterfall,
With graceful sounds it roars,
And flows down the cliff.
Surrounded by ferns and palm trees,
Is its gushing water,
I love the flowing waterfall.
Such a beautiful waterfall,
It's mighty sound echoes through the mountains,
With graceful sounds it roars.
I love the sound of the waterfall,
As it's roar echoes through the mountains,
And flows down the cliff.

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
To make the Cascade an even longer poem, use more lines in verse one. For example, if verse one has 6 lines, the poem must have seven stanzas so that each line of verse one is reused as a refrain in each following stanza (a cascading effect).
