This jester seemed too profound,
Portrayed his comical appearance, as a smile to believe,
That life within, partakes eternal joy and forlorn no more.

The honest humorous touch, was quite mistaken,
With nobles and kings expressing envious gestures as,
This jester seemed too profound.

Lost in sleepless nights and endless thoughts,
His heart but, unceased to follow his lifelong dream, and,
Portrayed his comical appearance, with a smile to believe,

Challenges withstood with optimism,
Enliven the soul, to trust,
That life within, partakes eternal joy and forlorn no more.

– Aishwarya Sridhar

The Cascade Poem was a form invented by Udit Bhatia. For the cascade poem, a poet takes each line from the first stanza of a poem and makes those the final lines of each stanza afterward. Beyond that, there are no additional rules for rhyming, meter, etc.
