Cadae
Cadae is an experimental Western poetry form similar to the Fib. While the Fib is based on the Fibonacci sequence, the cadae is based on the number pi. The word "cadae" is the alphabetical equivalent of the first five digits of pi, 3.1415.''Pi-unleashed'', by Jörg Arndt, Christoph Haene Google books/ref> The form of a cadae is based on pi on two levels.

The first line has three syllables, the second has one, the third has four, and so on, following the sequence of pi as it extends infinitely.

In addition to the main restriction, the author attempts to mimic portions, or entire works, of different types and pieces of literature ("The Raven", "Jabberwocky", the lyrics of Yes, "The Love Song of J.
