My 2nd Palindrome poem
Why is poetry magical
Written absorbingly such that
Wonder comes forth -BAM-
We are utterly consumed
Self-indulgently reading while
Questioning wordsmiths leaves
Broad-mindedness unchecked
Poets manipulate thoughts
Creativity thriving inspiring
Despite that ~
-Confusion-
~ That despite
Inspiring thriving creativity
Thoughts manipulate poets
Unchecked broad-mindedness
Leaves wordsmiths questioning
While reading self-indulgently
Consumed utterly are we
-BAM- Forth comes wonder
That such absorbingly written
Magical poetry is why
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Nice work, David! I’ve seen this type of poetry before and it seems insanely impossible to write. Your piece is brilliant and leaves me wondering if there’s any poetry form you can’t master? ๐
๐ thanks, Mike ๐
Felt you awe
Un-self-indulged, or:

I enjoyed reading this poem. This is an interesting style.
๐ Molly ๐ – thanks!
I loved this. To be honest when I read it a second time, I loved it even more.
That’s very sweet of you to say, Lauren.

I prefer the name Mirrored poem as I’m a stickler for accuracy and palindrome doesn’t seem to fit as well. Semantics aside I do very much like this one – it has a good flow in both directions! (which I have trouble producing in mine)…

I like the structure of this, a cool poetry mirror. Well crafted to present both sides.
๐ Dave ๐ – this is a fun form!
I love this, David! ๐

Interesting this morning. I must continue to work on my understanding of poemetry. Note, David, “understanding,” not “appreciation.” I do appreciate. I do not always fully understand.
Me too, Espie ๐
