POETRY FORM CHALLENGE

[Kalyope]

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 [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, I know. It took me three or four tries to get the one that I posted as an example to work...without sounding really corny. Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img]
