Alone no more Boldly walking together Carrying each other's burdens Doting on one another Each holds the other up Fostering each other's hopes

Gina's Ghost
Sleep eludes me. It has wholly forsaken me. I wander through these halls all night looking for that which is lost. I look in the darkest corners and cannot find what I misplaced. But it cannot be located, for it is hidden too well. There is a cold chill that I cannot displace, no matter how many fires I pace in front of.

What a wonderful poem! This is definitely not an easy task to pull off, but you’ve done very well at it. Great job.
Wow. Great job on such a difficult task. Well done.
Have we been writing Inverse and not knowing it, I wonder. You doubled up nicely on this one MC. Alone no more together forever. Great premise.
You too? What was it that possessed us to try both at once?
Wow! Great work here!❤️😊💕
You are a poetic genius! This works so well both ways! Such a wonderful poem!
How romantic! Nice one. ☺️👏 I need to have a go. Not living up to my 2024 goals so far lol! 😁
Beautiful poem read either way, though both read in very similar fashion. In a reverse poem, the more differently they read, the better.
Wow MC, way to flex that poetry muscle!! I love the way you encapsulated two kind of poems in one and how seamlessly the piece flows!! Very well thought out and executed! Great emotional piece!
So romantic 🥰
absolutely beautiful. This is the way love should be.
Awesome!!! Loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
Aw MC so clever and beautifully done! Love the sentiment of this!🤍
Very nice.
