Hi Maria
I love this Palindrome poem, a great way to use the lovely words with ballet. The image is beautiful. My two granddaughters do ballet and I love to watch the video they send me
Good luck in the contest
Mary

Yes I know maria I am in Spain but it is still quite warm

Yeah, it's not too cold, but I've heard it's going to be the coldest winter in 100 years. I wonder if it's true.

Nice palindrome. My sister did ballet as a little girl so a lot of those terms are familiar
Nice description of the actions of a ballerina

Great palindrome. It takes a lot of thought and effort to achieve one of these, and you've written an awesome one.

The photo is perfect for this.

Thank you. 8-)

Wow! Thanks for the great review. I didn't expect such a rating. This is my first palindrome and quite a simple one. You're very kind.

No, you deserved it. 8-)

MJ,

This is definitely one of the best palindrome poems I have EVER seen. Great job thinking it through with ballet and these movement words. I hope you win!

Are you serious? I thought it was too simple... I still don't feel comfortable writing poetry...
