Skies Weep Misty Rain

by damommy

While dull gray skies weep misty rain,
like falling dew from leaden clouds,
a shelter little creatures seek.

The day is dark and lights come on
as everyone is safe indoors
while dull gray skies weep misty rain.

The drizzly drops are barely seen
until they bead on trees and shrubs
like falling dew from leaden clouds.

Before the droplets turn to sleet,
an interlude before the freeze,
a shelter little creatures seek.

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
