This reverse poem is very well done. I can easily see why it is the contest winner. The picture is perfect for your words, Reading the poem backwards gives ian interesting twist to your words. Congratulations! Carol

You're welcome. I enjoyed reading it.

This is great! So creative how you can read it from bottom to top too. The personal touch of wanting to make your mother proud and the honest reflection on tough times made this feel so personal.

I admire the skill it must have taken to write this reverse poem. I certainly can't write this way. I loved the meanings each way. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
