Writing In Reverse

Writing in reverse, end before the beginning; Exclamation point without even a sentence; Jumbled and incoherent; Foolproof ideas pop too fast for you to grasp; Ingenuity blowing like wind on your hands, the cold pen is now inflamed; For once it makes sense; Just a spoonful of quiet syllables line up revealing a perfect flow; There is order to the mess.

I like this so much. Sometimes, a whole poem is just a phrase. The Ovillejos I’ve stumbled across seem that way, worked from the inside out. Or, completely reordering lines, stanzas, then, ahhhh!
