spring dance

everything
around me
blushes green

spring

trembles softly
there in the wings
even as frost
blankets the loam

dance

darling daffodils,
peepers and bluebirds
sing your happy songs
winter’s end is near
and spring won’t be long

As busy as I have been this year with work and caretaking, I could not let Pi Day pass without giving a new Pi inspired poetry form a go! It’s called a Cadae and incorporates the first 5 digits (3.1415). See the details below:

There are two styles of Cadae. (I chose the second style for today.) 

1. strophic, written in 5 strophes of fixed but varied length. 
S1 - 3 lines
S2 - 1 line
S3 - 4 lines
S4 - 1 line
S5 - 5 lines 

2. Incorporating a syllabic element to the strophes in style #1.
S1 - 3 lines with 3 syllables per line
S2 - 1 line with 1 syllable in the line
S3 - 4 lines with 4 syllables per line
S4 - 1 line with 1 syllable in the line
S5 - 5 Lines with 5 syllables per line
