I am starting to love this style of poem. In my limited knowledge I think this is a good example. Well I enjoyed it. Strong imagery, a very captivating piece.

Hi Jonathan,
Your encouraging words are so good to hear. Why don't you try the palindrome or mirror poem. They're more fun to tackle than you might think...

Have a wonderful Sunday,
Senyai

This is a sweet poem of spring and the outdoors written as a palindrome. I wrote one of those but probably wouldn't again because they are so difficult, and seem to incur controversy. Obviously you worked hard on this one as it is not too short.. My very best wishes go with you for the competition, Giddy

Thank you, Giddy. Yes, my first palindrome and I still have much to learn about the form. They are fun though and a challenge at the same time.

Thank you for the well wishes and kind words,
Senyai

What a phenomenal job! This is such a difficult (impossible for me) form of poetry to write and you nailed it. Lovely job, articulated beautifully and I also like your author notes. How right you are!! xoLeslie

Thank you, Leslie. I am happy you liked the palindrome. My first. Try one, they are more fun than I thought they would be.

Your excellent review and kind words made my day :)

Senyai,

I love your show of spring. Your words were chosen so carefully I missed the palindrome at first. It was in the centering shape that gave me pause to look again.

Beautiful. Your words speak to hundreds of moments in hundreds of lives.

Oh, thank you Berta. Your kind words and review are so encouraging. My first palindrome so I'm learning but still have a long way to go.

Thanks again,
Senyai :)

Hi, Poetsteve. I took your suggestions and deleted the repeated word, "waiting." Thanks for the help. Appreciate the great review.

It does read better now. I would love a second look and your thoughts.

Comment from robyn corum

Good

Senyai,

While I really enjoyed the verbiage and imagery in the first part of your poem, I have to admit that the second (backwards) part of your poem did not flow so free and easy for me. It seemed stilted and as if it needed much more work. (sorry!) If I can help offer suggestions, let me know. Good luck in the contest~

You have written a very visual, descriptive poem about life under a beautiful view of the sky. Your poem is very well written, and has a nice flow forwards and backwards. The picture depicts the words in the poem nicely. Good job, good luck with the contest.

I really enjoyed the imagery of the poem. I found that palindromes can be difficult at times but you seemed to get your message and meaning across very nicely. Well done.
