HI JLR, I have heard and seen the palindrone form...
but never brave enough to give it a whirl...
I love your poem...and am so sorry I don't have any sixes left...these take a lot of work...
snow is truly natures blanket...I love it...Winter is
my favorite season...but I can honesty say...it can stop for the year...and bring on Spring...very well written...
and I love your picture...love Linda xxoo

Comment from Mastery
Good job, Jim. I personally have never tried writing a palindrome but they look like an interesting challenge my friend.
"morphing, decaying, constantly,
aglow. Orange, red, yellow
leaves falling protecting"
Lots of good verbs here. Bob

Thanks friend!
Comment from June Sargent
You've created a lovely example of a palindrome. It's not as easy as it sounds - the lines need to make sense. And yours does. This piece paints a vivid picture of fall turning into winter and then back again. I enjoyed the read. Must try this format sometime myself.

June, thank you! Yes, this does offer some stops and starts as the poem develops to create a readable mirror that makes sense to the reader. Let me know if you do take on the challenge...

'Snow', is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill. It was a pleasure to both read and review a poem of this standard. This talented poet's work is inspiring.

Duchess, your kind words are validating! This palindrome form does come with a depth of challenge that did surprise me. Lots of stops and starts to get to the finish line, but well worth it.

JLR, the palindrome form is fascinating and is certainly worth while,

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello JLR!
What a delightful palindrome, or Mirrored Poem. Such beautiful imagery is presented, and I must say, that your poem reads smoothly. I read it aloud, and it enjoyed it even more than just reading it silently.
Kudos!
thank you for sharing!

Diane, thank you so much. I must admit that this exercise came about from Covid boredom (ugh). I found the form required a lot of stops and starts, but once I got into it it was a very enjoyable personal challenge.
Comment from Erika Seshadri
Ah, what a lovely poem. Great structure and word use. It also invokes wonderful feelings regarding nature. And so very impressive as a palindrome! I've never tried one of those before. Looks like a great challenge.

Nature's cyclical movement through seasonal change effectively portrayed here in this interesting format of the Palindrome - snow being the inspiration with a lovely pic

Comment from lyenochka
That is so cool! You did a great job with this palindrome form. I appreciate that you formatted it so nicely and reversed it so I didn't have to read it backwards. (Some have just left it one-directional).
My favorite part was reading the first way it was nature doing the quilting with snow and the other way, it was the leaves quilting nature!
One suggestion:
quilting natures (nature's)

Comment from Lyn Peters
What a lovely, and original take on a seasonal event that so many regard with dismay! The image of snow as nature's "quilting" is so charming, I may never look at snow again in quite the same way. Thank you for that.
Best of luck to you with this entry.
