For those of you who don't know, a palindrome is a word that reads the same forward as backward, like BOB, or NOON. . . There are also longer palindromes like MADAM, I'M ADAM or A MAN, A PLAN, A CANAL, PANAMA. . . If you'll look at my poem in Open #7, you'll see my poem called "Reflecting Love" you'll see that it reads the same way backwards as it does forwards. . . not a palindrome in the truest sense of the word, but palindrome-like in another sense. . . Your challenge, should you choose to accept it. . . is to write a poem that reads the same way backward as it does forward. . . good luck!!! Oh, and if you can write a true palindromic poem. . . you're better than me!!!

Ok this challenge scares me... but after reading yours in open I think I will give it a try... I'll post it in Open 7 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |
