SHE WAS ALONE

 

 

SHE WAS ALONE

 

The house was silent

time passed slowly.

she was alone.

 

There was no escape

winds raged outside

the house was silent.

 

The scars she bore

were deep and wide

time passed slowly.

 

His hurtful words

had caused the wounds

she was alone.

 

 

 

 

 

Cascade, a form created by Udit Bhatia. The form 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.
