- Cadence, created by Ella Cunningham, is a verse form which appears to be exercises in rhythm and
possibly to show the value of often overlooked parts of speech, articles
and prepositions. It is similar to the Cameo found at Poetry
Base.
The Cadence is: - a heptastich, a poem in 7 lines.
- syllabic, the Cadence written with 1-2-3-4-4-8-5 syllables per line.
- unrhymed, but end words should be strong, no articles or prepositions.

precipice,
time running out.
Only option,
amputate trapped arm, flying solo.
Fortitude, freedom.

to top of glass,
then overflows
to prove the barkeep gave you yours,
Now you'll smell like brew.
