SHE WAS ALONE

Michael Edwards

 

 

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.

    This is a very good write Michael and the structure is intriguing.

  • Laura🌻

    Michael,
    As Gold stated, an intriguing structure to express a painful situation! Beautiful painting...Maestro Extraordinaire! Bravo!

      Thanks Laura - I quite like this structure - must write some more if I don't get distracted by other ideas.

      A fine write and pic M. Phew, I won't even start this form with me hymn-poems! It's 'common' for me to stay with me 'Common Metre' often. 8.6.8.6. lines that is!
      Cheating a bit, cos that fits to thousands of tunes, yet so many of them I don't know.

      Not that I don't repeat myself sometimes in poems, I said, not that I don't...... (I wish I would shut up. lol).

      • Michael Edwards

        You can repeat yourself as often as you like Orchi,
        as often as you like Orchi,
        as often as you like Orchi.

        Great format and picture Michael.

      • Lorna

        ooooo Michael - you've outdone yourself and I dove into your painting of blue......

        • Michael Edwards

          You can't beat a good dove - thanks Lorna

        • orchidee

          She still alone, or she found some company today? Is it today all day, or......oh I did enough on that the other day!

          • Michael Edwards

            Is that the day after the day before yesterday?

            • orchidee

              Nope, that's not 'today' - the day after the day before yesterday brings me back to 'yesterday' Now tell me it again - why was she alone? I've lost the plot of the poem now, figuring out what day it is! lol.

              • Michael Edwards

                Why was she alone? Well she'd lost yesterday - not seen it have you?
