Poetry Contest Description
Palindrome
A 'palindrome' is a poem that reads the same forward or backward.
A sentence example is:
Mirrored images reflect images mirrored
A poetry example is:
Love/Hate Relationship
by Paula Brown
Love
Mimics hate:
Passionate always, forging forward.
Unquiet rage screams
Poetry.
Tangled mercilessly;
Emotion
—mirrors—
Emotion,
Mercilessly tangled.
Poetry
Screams rage, unquiet.
Forward forging, always passionate:
Hate mimics
Love.
Punctuation is important with these. However, punctuation does not have to be the same forward or backward. I say that it is important so that it will make sense when it does read with the same words.
The longer you can make yours, and have it make sense, will show your true skill at these.
Rules:
It MUST make sense
It MUST read the same forward and backward
You are allowed ONE linking word; ex: -mirrors- in above poem
Enter as many times as you like
As long or short as you want
New or old allowed
Any subject
Winner will not be determined on length of poem, but MIGHT help.
