Default POG Poet Laureate - Top 8 - New Poem due Monday NOON

This time is gonna be a tough one...

Palindromes

The poem has to read the same forward as backwards...

No topic; u are free to choose one of ur own; pog is always a good topical topic to fall back on if nothing else inspires u...

No set length, but i imagine judges will be more impressed with a 21-line one than a 5 line poem..


Due by Monday at NOON (i will be gone thursday afternoon)


example:

Life-
imitates nature,
always moving, traveling continuously.
Falling leaves placed delicately;
foliage touching the echoing waters,
clarity removed -
Reflections distorted through waves rippling;
gracefully dancing
mirrored images
- reflect -
images mirrored.
Dancing gracefully,
rippling waves through distorted reflections -
removed clarity.
Waters echoing the touching foliage;
delicately placed leaves falling -
continuously traveling, moving always,
nature imitates
life.
