Cascade--created by Udit Bhatia, is about receptiveness, but in a smooth cascading way like a waterfall.
The poem does not have any rhyme scheme;

*Line one of verse one becomes the last line of verse two.
*Line 2 of verse one becomes the last line of verse three. Line 3 of verse one now becomes the last line of verse four, the last stanza of the poem. (although you can add more verses in same form)
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).
