May Poetry Challenge: Palindrome Poetry

[Hotcoffee123]

Waves and sand

Waves and sand

Castles on high

Children playing

Moments passed by

Come here darlings

Shells of plenty

Lunch and snacks

Sun kissed kids

Lotion covered backs

Kids kissed Sun

Snacks and lunch

Plenty of shells

Darlings, here, come

By passed moments

Playing children

High on castles

Sand and waves

MY Second attempt

I’m going to rework it…
But I’m cracking myself up..

The first time I took this on, it took weeks. Your piece was really good. It may not fit the form, but save it. And don't overthink the palindrome poem. It's a challenge, but part of what gets in the way is a tendency to overthink.

Thank you, I am really loving this challenge and you have put so much effort into it.

Shiiiit... What I did was to go to a form so difficult to deal with that most poets simply don't bother, handed you the few resources that I could find online (believe me, there aren't many), and said "Impress me." You guys are the ones who deserve the applause. You are proving yourselves to be poets on par with some of the best.

I appropriated/borrowed the words ' Elba' and ' Able' from Napoleon's legendary saying ' Able was I ere I saw Elba'

Picked up on that. Interesting play in your piece.

I wrote this quite some time ago and thought pehaps it is a palindrome poem?


Giving myself to you
Opening my soul
For your inspection
My body follows
Where my mind leads

No more hesitation
No safe place
To hide from you
And your desire
Follows me always

Hesitation always
A scary place
To find me
And my indifference
Leaves you never

Giving yourself to me
Opening your soul
For my inspection
Your body follows
Where your mind leads

A beautiful piece. It isn't a palindrome, but it is technically a mirror poem. In this one, the thought in the first half finds its "mirror", if you will, in the second half. Think of it as almost a palindrome of thought. Very well crafted, and I love how the lines and thoughts go full circle.
