Notes About The Poem

This is also an example of a reverse poem.

A reverse poem is a poem that can be read forwards (top to bottom) and have one meaning but can also be read backwards (bottom to top). It does not have to rhyme and does not have to have an opposite meaning when read from bottom to top.  It DOES need to make sense when reading it backwards, however.


Inner Peace

Inner peace transporting me— crashing, salty, wet, waves of the sea feeling, hearing, tasting, smelling tides ebbing, flowing in concert with the moon Drawn to the edge of the water Drawn to the edge of the water in concert with the moon tides ebbing, flowing tasting, smelling, feeling, hearing, waves of the sea crashing, salty, wet transporting me— Inner peace
