The palindrome.As you may well know, a palindrome is a word that is the same both forwards and backwards, i.e. noon, mom, pup, etc. Your challenge is to create a poem in this same vein. Each word does not need to be a palindrome. Instead, the whole poem itself should be one. Example: Never Even Shore greets ocean, quietly lapping waves. Moonlight reflecting water's surface, rising moon embraces ...tranquility... embraces moon rising, surface waters reflecting moonlight. Waves lapping quietly, ocean greets shore. The title of the poem 'Never Even' is a palindrome, as is the poem. The line 'tranquility' serves as the transition point.
Good luck to you. I look forward to being wowed

This is hard.  -------------------- WORD & VOICE ---Bad ass board--- Lovely poetry I will never say the things that I want to say to you. I know the damage it would do. I love you more than I hate my loneliness and pain. ...foolish is he who calls anyplace home... As miserable as life may be I hold it pretty precious... If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I wil write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always, I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you. It's not a matter of caring, It's a matter of letting go of everything you care about.
