Mindless Echoes

Missing image
~forever~
time lacks end
unseen eyes echo
sun bleeding goodbye
within scattered illusions
corrupted torment and rage
darkness infected, perishing
immorality beholds perpetuity
~eternity~
perpetuity beholds immorality
perishing, infected darkness
rage and torment corrupted
illusions scattered within
goodbye bleeding sun
echo eyes unseen
end lacks time
~forever~



Author notes

An egg

Ok so I thought I would try my hand at a Palindrome.
Also Known as Mirrored Poetry

A palindrome, by definition, is a word, phrase, verse, sentence, or even poem that reads the same
forward or backward. It stems from the Greek word palindromos: palin, meaning again, and
dromos, meaning a running. Combining the two together, the Greek meaning gives us, running
back again...

It really wasn't as hard as some forms I've tried, thats if I got it right of course..lol. And as the title says its just mindless thoughts

      This is my fave form I didn't get it anywhere near as good as it can be. Its supposed to tell a different story in reverse than it does forward. If done properly it can be amazing. I'll keep my eye out for yours

    This is absolutely amazing! I am so impressed with this! I wrote a two ended acrostic but it pales in comparison to this! Wow!

    This is brilliant. I see why you call it your best. the flow is amazing and so is the pattern your poetry forms. The silver was well deserved for this piece. Excellence.

    Great work.

    A...Muse...Sings Forever

    A propos that the palindrome oscillates between the pit and the pendulum forever in time with time - especially 'just arrived by special delivery'

    Wonderful job Lady,

    I think you did a great job and even moreso that you took it upon yourself to take your own challenge and master it.

    Sensatickly...

    The form is beautiful (I''l have to try it).
    The content is what shines so darkly. The story that is told and the feelings it conveyed are remarkable.
    This poem was destined to live.
