Comment from SimianSavant
I could have sworn I reviewed this earlier today, and now apparently I didn't. And it also looks like a point or two that wasn't super clear has been made clearer since I last read it. Anyway, yours was one of only two or three entries that correctly executed this form. Parts of it are easy: sandwich a dependent, ambiguous statement between positive and negative intents. But I found this pretty tricky to do well, and extend.
Still, I have so much <= I read through this several times and am unconvinced that STILL creates more clarity than it obscures.
Good choice of picture.

Excellent! Your verse reads with fluency and opposite meanings. This is very clever, a challenging prompt which you've achieved with strong emotion. Well done and good luck! Debbie

It's not often one will read a narrative like that. Walk away, I love the challenge of these thematic poems, and really they are valid, a lot of relationships end like, 50% of marriages end in divorce, beautifully written, good luck, blessings Roy

I am amazed at these Reverse Poems. I don't write poetry and to see someone write two poems in one (forward and back) is really a trick to behold. Well done!

Hi
This must be hard to do. This poem tells a person to go to have a chance at true love when read top to bottom. From bottom to top it does the opposite and asks the person to stay and see the change so trust and love can bloom.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day.
