Author notes

I wrote this as a palindrome (or a mirror image) poem… on that can be read the same forward and backwards.  

I'm not sure about that title though.

Thank you Barbara

    This is very well done! Unlike some I've seen, each line makes perfect sense in it's place without "deep thought". I've had one author of many poems of this sort tell me that if poems can be fully understood by anyone but the author, it is a failure. While I think the extent of emotion behind a poem is only known full by the author, a poem shouldn't purpose to leave its readers befuddled! Well done!

    Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. I know that all of you are wonderful writers and I truly respect your opinions. After reading Barbara’s poem (written in the same style) with the lines two becomes one/one becomes two; I couldn’t stop thinking that those would make a great mirror poem for a marriage and a child, but could I do it without giving a way the twist from the beginning? I wondered if I succeeded, or did you see this one coming? Or did you miss that and I need to clarify it? Thank you.

    do not touch

    What an interesting way to write . This is the first of these I have ever read . As Barbara said , it must be awfully hard to do . But I love a challenge so maybe one of these days I will attempt it when I feel really inspired. This was great....and thx for your comments on my haikus

    Excellent

    This is great! I love the turn-around in the middle. These poems are so hard to write, and to have them make sense! (that's why I've written a total of one.) So glad it inspired you though
