Bad Poetry example of Cavalcade:

As the dark surrounded her, penetrating
and the emptiness grew
annihiliting life to build a void
a cavalcade of thoughts bloomed, pushing,
consuming
emptying.
Oh to stop that hurt within
to step out of the shadows
and make the rain stop
and at long last, the spring begin.
