Malfunction, hopefully

I believe this isn't meant to happen.

I love your artwork and the word "Glows" that compliments it. I also looked up your sdrawkcab word and found it spelled backwards. How clever that was.
Best wishes in the contest.

Clever visual with the letter play. At first I started to write a misspelling for backwards, then I looked closer. Every sentence the last word speaks for itself. Very Kewl.

This is a super clever piece. I must admit it took me a few tries with the backward (sdrawkcab) writing before I got it. This was a fun piece. Loved it! Best, JohnC

Very revelc!

Love the s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-ng, too!

This is sure to stand out among the 5-7-5 entries...

In the best possible way!

Addendum: This was "blind" when I read it. I should have known it was you! I hope lots of folks are finding your work, Thomas!)

My money's on you, anonymous!

Interesting play with words. Was your character drunk and trying to get a taxi? Have never reviewed backwards writing, only those who have no idea how to write a poem. Be kind said I and help that guy. Good luck with your entry. K XX

If only time was counting backwards I would love to reward my life a little and you made me smile here with your 5-7-5, I fit so much into everyday that I think I do stretch time! Ha ha ha, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Interesting and original 5/7/5 poem. Not sure of the meaning of the poem but your syllable count seems to be perfect. Great picture to add to the poem. Unique use of a word spelled backwards.

Blessings

Interesting, imaginative use of form here, that last line with stretching all stretched out on the page reminded me of EE Cummings work. It speaks of a mysterious moment of time, lingering somehow, in that neon glow, in the space stretching around us, but the experience itself is unarticulated and lies underneath somewhere. estory

This is clever and a realistic view of what could happen in the future. At first, I was thrown off by what seemed to be nonsense but when I read in your author's notes that it was backward spelled backward then I knew what it was about and loved the innuendo of it all!
Futuristic and well thought out this is an excellent poem!

At first, until I read the author's notes, I asked myself what?!!! Thanks for the definition. It made it clear. Good luck. I'm going to leave for a drink... of water, to clear my head, :-)
