Exceptional A Cascade poem for Potlatch Poetry I Love Rain! by damommy

I wish it rained five days a week, or every other day at least. You think I’m crazy as I speak.   Though some will say that’s very bleak and wish that rain was much decreased, I wish it rained five days a week.   In summer drought, it’s quite a feast when comes each day the thing we seek, or every other day at least.   The droplets fall, each one unique, when gentle breezes are released. You think I’m crazy as I speak.   Recognized Author Notes A Cascade 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).
