Meadow of Wild Flowers
Colors Delicate Shade
Meadows of flowers
spread their hew
Giving birth to scent
the foliage
Nature shows her
delicate shade
Wondrous beauty of
nature’s love
Deer gather at the
meadow’s stream
Come together they
drink their fill
Fear none as summer
casts her glow
Meadow of flowers
spread their hew
Gather pollen giving
new growth
Come spring the cycle
starts again
Giving birth to scent
the foliage
Beauty in our eyes we
behold
Buds peek through
fertile moist soil
As flowers come each
year to us
Nature shows her delicate
shade
Blessed are we to share
such gifts
Bringing peace to one’s
heart and soul
Color remain in silent
sight
Wondrous beauty of
nature’s love

I loved the feel of this poem as well as the way you wrote it. It had such a certain freedom to it even as a waterfall that just keeps falling. I am sure that is why it is called a cascade poem. You are so brave to try all these different forms of poetry writing. Thank you for giving us insight into the many different styles of poetry writing and the explanation at the bottom each poem as to the form. I really appreciate it.
