I really like this poem. It's the first I've read of this style, but I feel you did well with the challenge. I particularly like the shimmering magically/magically shimmering reversal. I also think your first and last image "reflection in symmetry" and the reverse are the most powerful, which are perfect to open and end the poem with.

Good luck in the contest!

A well written Palindrome it works perfectly both ways. I tried one myself but it still need some more work to get it right. Great author notes

    Hi Sandra,

    I think these are one of the most difficult styles to try. They are some that I ponder the longest, that is for sure! I have a couple in my portfolio, not many. Good luck with yours. :) Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

I had forgotten about the meaning of Palindrome poetry. I so enjoyed reading it before I realized what type of poetry it actually was. The picture, of course, enhances the words so that I can visualize the words moving thru the water. Beautifully done!

    Hi John,

    Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem. I appreciate the kind comments, especially about you enjoying reading and not even realizing that it was a palindrome. That is the best compliment.

Kim,
This is an awesome entry. The artwork is beautiful and sooo perfect. Your words flow just like the water they are reflected in--or could be. Good job on the format. Best wishes in the contest.

Will you add this to your book later?

The notes read well. Thanks for those, too.

Jan
