back to the stars
I’d like to share this as a challenge to any who would like to try, as it can be read as a RHYME in five ways: #1 - left-to-right, top-to-bottom; #2 - right-to-left, bottom-to-top; #3 - left-to-right, bottom-to-top; #4 - alternating right-to-left, then left-to-right from top-down; #5 - alternating the same way from bottom-up.

!abeam there float
bright shiny stars
gleam and bloat
Venus with Mars
dancing forever
they are eternal
entrancing, clever
brilliant and vernal
night is yawning
voided and dark
bright day dawning
flames to spark
soon close eyes
sleep to scheme
moon with skies
blink and dream!
( This is a lullaby inspired by Eugene Field’s “Wynken, Blynken and Nod” )
