Reversable Poem – A Poem

The third writing exercise at the Kensington & Norwood Writers Group was to write a ‘reversable poem’, that can be read, and still make some sense, when read either up or down. We had to start writing it last line first, and work our way through to the first line.

My poem is simply called, ‘Reversable Poem’.

Reversable Poem

Long morning.
Car windows misted-up.
Crows call from stobie pole.
T.V. is on, but the program is off the mark.
Mailman brings no letters.
Waiting for change of fortune.
Listlessly listening to music.
Beer or wine?
Winter day.
Rain squalls.

Rain squalls.
Winter day.
Beer or wine?
Listlessly listening to music.
Waiting for a change of fortune.
Mailman brings no letters.
T.V. is on, but the program is off the mark.
Crows call from stobie pole.
Car windows are misted-up.
