In a Palindromic Poem, the order of the words and/or phrases used in the first half of the poem is reversed to form the second half. A single word or phrase may bridge the two halves. Even though one half is straightforward and logical and the other half is backwards, both sides make sense, and form a unified whole. Kind of like America. Before you cast your ballot, think about what you believe in, what you stand for, what kind of future you want to see. Much depends on your decision.

Yeah, it’s hard to make it work both ways. Here is a good palindrome by Prince Ea on You-Tube, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUcJRKVuPak

Thanks, Peter. Mine is short, so not as difficult as some I’ve seen. Here is a good one to look up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUcJRKVuPak.

My sentiments exactly. But I won’t bow out, just do the best I can with the crap hand I’ve been dealt. 🙂

Thanks, T Wayne. That’s why the poem is so short–LOL! To calm my pre-election nerves, I got an adult coloring book and wield my colored pencils on the pages while listening to jazz and funk on your WP site. Very relaxing, thanks for that. 🙂
