Wondering the Possibilities
Palindrome Poetry (also known as Mirrored Poetry)
It seemed she was destined to be alone
She questioned life regarding her existence
She needed a life companion
Though her spirits lifted
She felt broken and shattered
In her heart
Were tidal waves
In her mind
Wondering the possibilities
She started her journey
Her mind was made up
She had to go in search of her soulmate

Palindrome Poetry (also known as Mirrored Poetry), is a poem that reads the same forward or backwards. Like a folded sheet of paper or a perfect reflection, a palindrome depends on symmetry.
Palindrome poetry starts with an initial poem and then hinges on a line that usually repeats directly in the middle of the poem before working through the rest of the lines in reverse order.
When reversed, the poem would still make sense but the meaning would be different.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

This is beautiful. Wine and solitude is not so good. I prefer my soulmate. In my dreams after a bottle of beur - hik, sorry, beer.. I'm not drunk, don't worry.
I am eternally impressed with this one. Palindrome might very well be one of the best forms for you. This one came off so effortless. Though, the skill and reasoning weaved in, was clever, gently revealing her need for a soulmate. Outstanding work as always Dharr, but especially in this one. It was rather riveting ♥️🤗
Heartfelt poetic words. Such a wonderful read.
This poem is so meaningful in both directions; it's so easy to relate to both journeys. I loved it!
Yes I’ve read this one before! Just read again. Cool. 😊
Oh wow, what a fantastic style of poetry. And the lines in her heart, in her mind were tidal waves
Sentimental one 🙃😊!
This is verrrrry well done ! I don’t remember reading it before but I can see that I have liked it, so I must have ✨🕊️❤️ How lovely to experience again for the ‘first’ time!
Dharrsheena, this was another great one! I almost feel like you're my creative writing teacher sometimes because you always teach me about all these different types of poems, writing techniques and skills! It was almost haunting how perfectly this lined up forwards and backwards. I know this is a relatively common poem but usually the backwards version isn't as impactful as the forwards one. Great work overall! 💜
Wow, this was so cool. I know what I’m gonna try next! The way the emotions hit differently from the initial to the mirrored version, was remarkable. Such cool line lengths, too; they really added to the way I read and experienced them. The emotions were so raw, so real, and it seems to me that you chose the optimal form and style for it. 🥹💜
I felt the emptiness feeling. Falling in love does not define our life . Very engaging poem
This was super cool and well crafted!

This is lovely, brilliant, and tragic at the same time (especially the last line when it's reversed!) Truly love this. Excellent work!
This is beautiful! It must’ve taken a lot of thought to write this type of poem.
I love that you always try new things, new styles, new ideas! This was beautiful ;)
Excellent poem- thank you for sharing!
Lovely , love the words used. Let love come to you naturally, and the shattered pieces just unite together beautifully into a beautiful heart of gold ❤️🙏🏽
Different and new. Great.
Beautiful!
Cleverly written! Beautiful job
I’ve heard of this type but didn’t know what it was. Thanks so much for sharing!
This is very cleverly and beautifully written

Brilliant work! Thanks for teaching us a bit about palindrome poetry! I’ll try it some time!
