Literature Text

A mother, opening the kitchen door,
scents the distant air with cardamom -
an Araby of spices for the morn

The ancient art of cookery
Befits this humble sorceress -
this mother, opening the kitchen door

To wake her kingdom with a tapestry
the fragrant blend of ardent spices
scents the distant air with cardamom.

And children, waking from their winter sleep
will slip out of their dreamscapes to devour
an Araby of spices for the morn.

The cascade was created by Udit Bhatia and follows a simple format.
It has no rhyme structure however it instead uses refrains to give it a
waterfall, cascading effect. Each line of the first stanza becomes the last
line of the successive stanzas. The more lines you have per stanza, the
more stanzas you need to complete the poem. The scheme for a
terzain cascade (three line stanzas) is: ABC, deA, fgB, hiC
