This cadralor was written in response to W3 Prompt #26: Wea’ve Written Weekly at The Skeptic’s Kaddish, so please visit his page to participate and/or read other responses. This one took some thought, and I’m not entirely sure I followed the specific parameters of a true cadralor, but I think I at least came close. Please let me know what you think!

I.  Harvest

I love the colors you show,
	Red and brown replace the green;
A lovely Harvest glow,
	Sets a beautiful scene.

II.  Leaves of Change

Waltzing up the aisle,
	Leaves swept up and swirled;
Fall stays a little while,
	Then enters Winter’s girl.

III.  Snowfall

A dress as white as snow,
	Drapes the trees and hills;
Feeling Autumn go,
	Replaced by Winter’s chill.

IV.  Young Again

I feel giddy as a child,
	Catching snowflakes on my tongue;
Sledding down for miles,
	We should ever be so young.

V.  Wedding

I love the colors you show,
	Waltzing up the aisle;
A dress as white as snow,
	I feel giddy as a child.

Four stand-alone poems and then a fifth that ties them all together. As you can see, I used the first line of each of the four poems to create the fifth, which is completely different in theme, yet ties them all together.
