Exceptional Author's Choice for Potlatch Poetry A Sight to Behold by damommy

The fairies danced along the wall, a hundred fireflies lit their way, an elf played melodious tunes.   My very first thought “It’s a dream” but right there before they were – The fairies danced along the wall,   A pixie joined, a sprite stepped in. They came from out of shadowed wood, a hundred fireflies lit their way.   The moon and stars lit quite a sight. Sweet music was filling my ears - an elf played melodious tunes. Recognized Author Notes 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).
