Form Cascade-1

The things people do with the poetic forms: the Japanese nature’s to keep the thing short; the Welsh and the Irish like gnashing their teeth. They’re smashing glass ceilings and breaking the norms. Just add one more rule, and we’ll name it for you. The things people do with the poetic forms… The tanka’s a haiku plus two line retort; The monoku rests on a line of its own. The Japanese nature’s to keep the thing short. Seems ‘seadna’ is shay-nay, and ‘gywydd’, good grief! Six consonants strung and you say it ‘gee-youth’? The Welsh and the Irish like gnashing their teeth. ---------- A Cascade: this one seems full of possibilities. You write a stanza of N lines, then write N more stanzas where each line from the first stanza is the last line of the subsequent stanzas. There's no other requirement, but I added a little rhyming: ABC/axA/bxB/cxC. https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/poetic-form-cascade-poem
