I'm glad you told us in your author's notes what sdrawkcab was, I was about to look it up! Lol. My brain isn't at it's best at the end of the week! Lol. This is a wonderful 5-7-5 poem, with a fabulous picture to enhance your words. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

This was like something from the Twilight Zone. Dark and foreboding and quite mysterious. I was quite excited to find backwards written, well, backwards. Made me slow down despite my effort to move through it. Now you have left me wondering what happens when time hits zero. Well done. You managed to build suspense in only 3 short lines.

This is a good 5-7-5 contest entry. The syllable count is on point. The text in white could be a bit larger. I did not know the usage of the word backwards spelled in reverse. Now, I do. Thanks for teaching me a new concept. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

Twilight Zone. . . .I can hear the music. You did a great job
with your presentation of your contest entry--the red font
was a great choice and the way you wrote backwards and
stretching. Good job with the syllable count per line.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes, Jan

Don't worry! time is moving backwards. I mean sdrawkcab, in which case, the malfunction, whatever it was that caused this, will undo itself shortly. Now, the only question is... when that point is reached, will time stop moving sdrawkcab? If it doesn't. you are so screwed!

I was so confused at first about the sdrawkab until I saw your note haha. Very clever! I also loved how you actually stretched out the word stretching. I could definitely feel this photo and the emotions tied into it.

I am left to guess what those neon lights mean. This might be an emergency outside a hospital, and that consciousness may dim. Something is malfunctioning, as stated, but I'm not sure what.
No spelling errors.
Best wishes

Lovely 5-7-5 haiku.
-Wonderful presentation.
-Where you locate readers in this poem is quite intriguing, it has the feeling of a place that one may not want to be.
Sparkling in your poem: the neon light that glows.
My favourite line: the sdrawkcab countdown.
Good luck on your entry.

Well. You have a vivid imagination, and have crafted an unusual story line for this short poem. Actually, it sounds like the beginning of a great mystery or horror tale. If only there was more. Best wishes in the contest.
