We bequeth the page, the air, our thoughts as they tumble from our brain. I pray that they flow on. That I drown in thoughts and words. Lest they dry up and blow away. From this angle, the statue seems to convey my thoughts.

This poem is a Palimdrome.
A Palindrome is a word (or sentence) that reads the same backwards as forwards. So the word "Madam" is a palindrome. For a Palindrome poem you incorporate it into your poem, but do so with either sentences or words. When done as a WORD Palindrome, each line reads the same spelled backwards or forwards (although going backwards you might have to rearrange the punctuation or spacing a bit in your mind). However, in a SENTENCE Palindrome, entire words in the poem are readable forwards or backwards. This would then need to be true for the entire poem or at least each stanza in a Sentence Palindrome.

Simple example of a sentence Palindrome poem.
