The Birth Of Palindrome Poetry

A palindrome is a word, phrase, verse, sentence, number, or poem that reads the same forward or backward. It comes from Greek word Palindromos. Palin means again and dromos means running. Together they are: running again.

TOO BAD THE WORD PALINDROME ITSELF ISN'T A PALINDROME!

Examples Of Reading Palindromes

A palindrome can be a word or phrase. Here are some examples:

~Racecar

~A Toyota

~Anna

~ A but tuba

~A Toyota’s a Toyota.

~ Bob

Example 2 of Reading Palindromes

Read the poem straight. There will be a turning word that will be at the middle of the poem. For example:

Reflections

Life-

imitates nature,

always moving, traveling continuously.

Falling leaves placed delicately;

foliage touching the echoing waters,

clarity removed -

Reflections distorted through waves rippling;

gracefully dancing

mirrored images

- reflect -

images mirrored.

Dancing gracefully,

rippling waves through distorted reflections -

removed clarity.

Waters echoing the touching foliage;

delicately placed leaves falling -

continuously traveling, moving always,

nature imitates

life.
