Well it has been awhile since I've read a palindrome poem and this is beautiful, WJ.

There is something always unique about mystical worlds with magical creatures and things that glow.

Many thanks for the fine reminder and for sharing a nice fantasy. :)

This was a beautiful example of a palindrome poem! I have always felt a bit challenged by the format. But you made it seem so easy. Great rhythm. Well done!

I enjoyed your detailed palindrome. You did a great job with its style. I wasn't expecting to read the poem in print a second time. I was going to read myself from the bottom to the top--but you made it easy to follow your theme and style. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

    Hi Jan,
    Thank you for the encouraging comments about this palindrome. That forwards and backwards stuff is a challenge, and it was fun to write.

Awesome, totally awesome. Captivating,most captivating. Perfect picture, gorgeous picture perfect. Did I read repeatedly? Repeatedly read, I did. You inspired me to try....my feeble attempt making me appreciate all the more your mastery of words and images. Seven, deservedly seven. But alas, I can only give a six.

    I love your response! Of course, the six star rating is wonderful and much appreciated, as is the virtual seven. Your palindrome response is clever and is one I won't soon forget.

Clever, clever, clever. Wonderful title and picture... The fantasy of a Gossamer Dream personified...faeries dancing, unicorns prancing, magical, mystical, moonbeams all add to the mood of this imaginative poem.

Great job with this difficult style of poetry. I wish this had been in a contest. It reads smoothly and makes sense forward and backwards and gives a glimpse of the magical world of fairies. This would fit well in your Piper book.

    Hi Helen,
    Thanks for the great review. It's funny you mention a contest. As I hit release for this work I thought I hadn't seen a palindrome contest on the site in a while. I've had several people remark they've never seen a palindrome poem before. I think I might sponsor one.
    Hmm. I hadn't thought of tying this Piper.

I am amazed at your Palindrome, I never even thought to write a poem in this form. Now you've got me thinking. I think the image you chose also, in its own way reflects the imagery of your text.

"Gossamer Dreams", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. To me, this is a six, but sadly I've run out of them. I look forward to seeing your next post.
