Comment from Janet Foor
Gossamer Dreams is a lovely palindrome poem. I enjoyed reading forward and the again backward.
I did wonder if you meant fairies in line four rather than faeries.
Beautiful artwork to capture the essence of this piece
Well done.
Blessings

Hi Janet,
Thank you for the excellent review. I am happy to hear you enjoyed reading it forwards and backwards.
In answer to your question about 'faeries', I realize the more modern use is 'fairy,' but most fantasy writers are now using 'faery' in their novels. I am guessing because it makes it clear they are talking about enchanted peoples. I opted to use the older version as well. Thanks for asking. I always look for help in improving my writing and if no one asks I can't learn.
Thanks again,
Debi

Good to know debi. I didn't know that. This is a great place to learn things like that.
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
A delightful poem of fantasy dreams, yet reading the same frontways and backwards, amazing. Too bad I have no sixes. This would take quite a mettle of concentration and deeply focused attention to each word. Well done. Beautiful! I don't think I could do this, but I'll study it in my Bookcase.

You did such a great job. It couldn't have been easy. I will try to do something but I don't have the confidence that I will succeed.

If it helps any, the first time I tried a palindrome, I worked on it for weeks. Here's one thing I learned, drop 'the' and 'a' from you sentences. Those two words never read well backwards.

Thanks. Good to know.

Very impressive! I never realized that there was this kind of poem existed but I really like it. Someday, when my brain is working, I'll have to give it a try!

I don't think I've read this poem for before, but you made it magical just like your subject matter. Your artwork is perfect for it and I love your Einstein quote.

Palindrome poem
Hello, w.j.debi,
Gossamer Dreams is a beautiful palindrome poem with a fine form. I tried writing a palindrome before and it's not easy. Yours flows easily and paints an awesome picture in the reader's mind. Good job.

Thanks for the encouraging remarks. It is a form that can be challenging, and I am happy to hear you liked it.

Comment from royowen
I was speaking to my wife about the palindrome this morning, saying the possibility of me writing one is zilch. She said what I was thinking, it's like cryptic crosswords I can't do do them either, (although I'm better at working out abstract poetry than I was) well done Debi, an excellent palindrome, well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from Therese Caron
Excellent palindrome! You have done wonderful writing here, especially with this type of poem. I also love the words you use, words that flow and want to be read, such as Moonbeams shimmering. You chose a perfect image to complement this lovely poem. Thanks for sharing this!

Comment from Benny Beeharry
Hi
Not all dreams are fantastic, tenuous and beautiful. Not all dreams are uplifting and so full of dancing fairies and imageries. I have had a lot of very bad dreams. I enjoy this one. The presentation, the drift and your choice of words and the deliberate repetitions are all well placed.

Hi Benny Beeharry,
I agree, not all dreams are beautiful. I've had a few bad ones myself. Thanks for the great comments and the encouragement.

A very well-written palindrome about Gossamer dreams of unicorns prancing and fairies dancing on shimmering moonbeams. The palindrome is not an easy format but you did an excellent job.

Well done on this back and forth poetry form. That can't be totally easy and it's fun to read. Well done. I'll have to try that form - see if I can make it work. Good job.
