I appreciate your swimming around outside the box. This is brilliant. Your mind is a candy store for the rest of us. Killer post! Keep it up.

Comment from estory
I thought this was really interesting, quite unique, and I thought you put some great effort into composing this so that it reads well from top to bottom and from bottom to top. In the end, it creates this ambiguous sense of life, of the facade of smiles hiding the real fears underneath. This is a great example of form providing the framework for theme. I've never seen anything like this before, and I'm wondering where you learned about this form. It really is a step in a new direction. estory

I am extremely grateful for that, estory. I just recently stumbled upon a poem written in this style titled "Pretty Ugly" by Abdullah Shoaib. After reading, I felt inspired to give it a go and discovered that it was definitely a challenge.

You nailed this form which sounds like a good form to try and I will try it out later I like the image chosen as it nicely sums up the feeling of the poem in a piasco cubist sort of way

Comment from Sally Law
Wowzers, my friend! This is stunning and rocked me! I am amazed at your talent. I don't know if I could do this most difficult form and it make sense. Yours flowed both ways! I'm glad I had a six to give. Magnificent in all aspects!
Sending you my best today as always, dear Jess.

I love how you bring the emotions out in your words, Jessica. I'm sure a lot of people will be able to relate to this piece. We all try to hide what we're really going through, we definitely need to be more open, but sometimes it can be really hard to discuss our feelings. Another excellent piece.

Comment from GoWiSt
"I am fine." You can say that again, girl--mm, mm, mm, so fine!
"I shout my echoed joy," Well, don't overdo the bellowing. It might be interpreted as an overcompensation for your rumored distress.
"I am not
pleading for help.
Hear me now" Again, careful, that sounds like a plea for something--when you demand audience.
"(now read bottom-up)" Oh, hoho, you got me there, girl--excellent double entendre. Bravo!

This was great. Reading it forward I felt a sense of joy and relief. Then reading backwards, I felt I had unmasked someone else. The facade or mask had been stripped away. This was well written. Gretchen

This reverse poem, I Am Fine, is well done, I believe, and pulls off the job of making one positive claim going down but revealing the opposite going up. Nice.
