My Erotic Trail said:there are sites with all the different types of poetry and different reasons for line breaks, you'll have to play with your own style or way you relay thoughts into words. Read some of salne's poems and you'll see a great way to write poetry <grin
hope that helps!

[flipH]Leonardo da Vinci would have liked this poem with its reversal of order, its flexed aesthetics, its flipped perspective. I find it curious that it is actually easier to read the reversed words in your poem, where the individual letters are not themselves reversed, than it is to read this comment, which is a true mirror image of the original text. Holding a mirror up to the screen would reverse even that observation, though.SeattleRain said:when there is nothing between the pulse of your temples under thumb then where does it come from

to be serious, i have taught dyslexic children who found those flipped letters a delight to read.
perception, indeed.![]()
annaswirls said:oh you might be able to HELP ME! I have never been diagnosed with dyslexia, and I know I do not have it in the true form but damn, my left foot is danglin' in dyslexic waters I tell you that much M'am.
When I was little I always wrote my name backwards, completely.
