Pillows and beds,
children sleep nightly.
Sing and giggle ~
play and fly, fairies and Luna.
Note Centaurs and Trolls,
moonscape crowded tonight.
Mother moon heeds life dream,
rules are fair
~ play ~
fair are rules,
dream life heeds moon mother.
Tonight crowded moonscape
Trolls and Centaurs note.
Luna and fairies fly and play,
giggle and sing.
Nightly sleep children,
beds and pillows.

Palindrome Poetry
Also Known as Mirrored Poetry
A palindrome, by definition, is a word, phrase, verse, sentence, or even poem that reads the same forward or backward. It stems from the Greek word palindromos: palin, meaning again, and dromos, meaning a running. Combining the two together, the Greek meaning gives us, running back again...
Shown below are examples of the word-unit palindrome. The carefully placed words form the same sentence, whether it is read forward or backward. For example, 'Mirrored images reflect images mirrored' which includes a word in the center as a reversal point for the sentence or even the poem.
Example #1:
Reflections
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.
