A Backwards Poem-Needing Each Other
me
needing
you through
good and bad
times shared of
joy and love with
forgiveness linked
into redemption
saved through troubled times
with truth is grace
loving daily
portrayed and
pure is love
through me
needing
you

Backwards
The teacher said, "Listen to this,"
"Said backward, your name has a twist!"
One kid caught her eye
She said, "Simon you try!"
In a moment he said, "No mis!"...

The World Upside Down and Backwards

One of the funniest things in an amusement park are the mirrors
and the way your true image comes across
but unfortunately without the Blood of Jesus applied to your life
this is the way you and me look to God for without...

Backwards
Feet

weary

walking

in reverse

retracing

finding wisdom

by treading through 

dried muddy footprints

blood stained memories

lessons relearned

forlorn tears cleanse

painful yet

needed now

moving 

forward

feet

We'Re Evolving Backwards
we sit more than we walk 
we think less than we talk 

abandoning our evolution 
legs are something we're not using 

office blocks use finger tips 
we sit, we type use phones and lips 

eyes are used as we blindly consume 
unnatural light in every...

you
breathing

pure temptation
and love within 
obstacles in faith 
with hope of future
dependent for
living greatly

Premium Member God Spelled Backwards
It’s no coincidence that the word God
spelled backwards is a word that we all know
for something by which we are often awed -
a creature, which unfailingly, can show
amazing grace toward any one of us!
Our canine friend does not care how we dress
or if we’re rich...

Backwards
Your words took the breath out of me
Made me realize
Gave me anxiety 
Brought me back to reality
That I need to make changes
I feel like a stranger in strange places

I realize my misjudgement
How I treated you with words unfairly
Now I see things more clearly

I'm a poet...

Snow
Drifting

Gliding skis

rapidly as 
vast palace frozen 
joy our young spirits
white mountainside
dreaming hearts free

silent
white

Backwards In Real Talk
One-Two 
Life from a differerent view
Open ur eyes- to these lies,
From the world,
Thats underground curled,
Askin questions,
Wantin mentions,
To plant the bead,
Not to evils deed,
For a need,
As a small city girls lead,
Part I now believe,
With all my heart ,
In my dream,
We come together,
Banner/ stream
Cuz im growin,
Getin to...

Premium Member My Friend - I Miss You Backwards Contest
I miss you so...
Wordless... I miss you
without you I'm uninspired
a mute, my voice is truly yours
Speechless, numb, and empty

whats sometimes hard to show
that which I cannot say
I hope you feel it, I pray you know
this bares no question
My friend without strings... I do miss you...

Dog Backwards Equals God
Since I belong to God, I am treated by the world like I'm the backwards spelling of 
His name. In other words, I'm treated like a dog. His grand treatment will enable to 
stand in the face of persecutions for the good life Jesus is...

Backwards
Flaws.  And the flush of speckled skin. 
My throat closes off and I break.  
Dead men keep breathing.
Mourners heal quickly. 
Eyes open, reset, and we begin....

Walking Backwards
I look backwards I look forward
I look all around
I look left and right
chaos is all to be found

someone at this second is murdered 
someone at this second is raped
just watching the news 
makes me want to pray

you cant park your car on the street anymore...
