The Mirror-Rhyme Form, or Metered Mirror Rhyme
is a poetry-form created by Marion Mantel, which consists of
a series of QUATRAINS,
with the whole poem being REVERSED like in a mirror.
It is preferably written in IAMBIC TETRAMETER
and rhymes abab bcbc cdcd ~ dcdc cbcb baba.
In this way, the first line becomes the same as the last one etc.
The whole art is to create a poem which still makes sense when reversed.

Ah Pamela ...
I love to mirror any poetry form ... and thus I call my mirror the Mira-Mirror, where even free verse may be mirrored as entire poem. Of course the same principle is applicable: the art is to create a meaningful reverse.
I shall write you one!
Love
Myra
