Is it hard to write a Fibonacci 
back to front?
Let's just see if we can do one. 
Hmm…few words left now. 
Yes, well done. 
Easy
One. 
Oh?

Sign said “ONE WAY” but I was only going one way Shades of Sesame Street, oh for those long ago days Hard to go both ways at once Like wearing undies back to front Dr. Suess was the kookiest man since mayonnaise

Lesser Expectations

Upsidedown on monkey bars
hanging from my knees,
dopey grins are sorrowful frowns
and upward drift dry leaves

Swinging back to front –
my favorite view of life,
bobbleheads go  bobbing by
and time ticks counterclockwise

Only for me!

He Pulls Back

She caresses his skin
Arches form the bridge reflect again 
In one heated moment of passion angels sin 
As their glances meet their love begins 
He swoons as the room seems to spin
Pulls of the net bring up the fin
Back to front they spoon and grin

A Poem Back To Front

A poem back to front
It's never done
Because
Once you start
You never stop the fun
And stopping just to see
What you might do
You never know
What an author might tell you
So listen closely to
That which I say
Please think about the words
I speak each day
A poem back to front

Directional Synthesis

Does your life then come together
front to back
or
back to front
It takes years to clearly see
that both
directions
are a ruse
Life revolving as a circle
with you
inside
its center
All phases caught in a whirlpool’s tide
that ebbs
and flows
— divine

Premium Member Country Mouse

There lived a country mouse 
In a catawampus house 
With roof aslant
From back to front
And crooked walls as well.

He did not mind at all
Running circles in the hall
He kicked at peas
And nibbled cheese
Then groomed his hair with gel!

The Playground

The Playground (Haiku)

The rope tied tighter,
The swing is swinging so high,
Thy playground is fun.

Each child takes a turn,
Playing in the kids playground, 
Joy on their faces.

Tether ball, sandbox,
Many children love playtime,
All kids love playgrounds.

Monkey bars are fun,
One hand back to front swinging,
Each swinging child smiles.

I Miss the Way

I miss the way
———————-

I miss the way you looked through me, I miss the times so cautiously, the way you briefly smile, reminding me to stay a while, our glances, entrances, our chance is, however brief, with your heart ill play the thief... I miss the way you made me feel, on the way home tonight I reel, from back to front, why be so blunt... The way I feel...  Is real!

Treat Her Right

I didn’t stay
because you didn’t listen
Warring night and day
for a little attention

Forget promises whispered
at the alter
What about us?
When did we falter?

It only counts when two 
equals one
But when one plus one equals two
It’s time I left you

(Some writings will be very simple,
and really stupid.
I am going from back to front and
attempting to write in every form)

Rhubarb

I put my shoes on back to front
to step into the past,
sent my watch by express mail
to make the time go fast.
Wrote 'atom' down as 'mtao'
just to generate unclear fusion,
told my friends I wasn't there
but an optical illusion.
Put my head on upside down
for a thicker head of hair and no beard,
when you can't think of topics for a piece of verse, then
what the hell- 
do weird.

Catch Me

I lose my balance  
and begin to fall,
a backwards glance,
perhaps that's all

A look ahead,
too far, so fast
from back to front,
from future to past

I spin, I plummet
from off the summit,
so high we are,
we've climbed so far

And yet, I'm here
still standing fast,
I've not yet fallen 
so far at last

You catch me
and you break my fall,
you hold me up
and I stand tall

Breakers crashing upon the shoreS
Under the crested waves' motioN
Bursting with their salty aromA
Brimming over with white spumE
Leaving harmful pellets of plastiC
Everywhere *****insipiens will gO

Mr Perfect

Mr Perfect

He was
Everyone said
-Except himself
Mr Perfect.
The one who got everything right
Always won
Never gave up
Stood firm in his principles.
So they drilled him
In sensitive places
Like his heart
And he broke.
Mother, I, Me
Will pick up the pieces
Glue the shapes
Together.
In all the wrong places
Higgeldy 
Piggeldy
And back to front.
Because imperfection
Is more beautiful
Than Perfection
In a child.

Premium Member A Dog Shares His Perspective

as my dog and i were on a walk 
he said
we have to have a talk
about the way we are constructed
it was then
that he instructed
when you say
top to bottom  
about things that we've both got 'em
what you mean is front to back 
i'll admit
i was taken aback. 
he said
just as night follows day 
when you open your mouth
to say 
back to front
in a kind of flip-flop
what you mean
is
bottom to top 
he barked i believe our walk's complete 
can i now have my doggy treat
