Challenge of the week - #5

17 Years Ago


I was thrilled to read some of the responses to the previous challenge. It is amazing how a word can bring so many different creative ideas to all.
To make it easier for all to read, I created links to each of the postings. I look forward to reading all the wonderful works you've created.

Now for this week's challenge... Have you heard of Palindrome Poetry? I know, I thought it was an illness too... hehe, just kidding. ::tongue::

Quote:
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...

The carefully placed words form the same sentence, whether it is read forward or backward. For example, 'Mirrored images reflect images mirrored' which includes a word in the center as a reversal point for the sentence or even the poem.

Example:

Sunrise

Mornings
fresh and clear
makes sunrise spectacular
with birds chirping
- GLORIOUS -
chirping birds with
spectacular sunrise makes
clear and fresh
mornings.




Please let me know of your works so that I can post links for everyone to read ;)

I am excited to see what your great minds come up with! Have fun!

This is one tough, no.. daunting.. um, no... uniquely indescribable challenge. This is by far the toughest thing I've ever had to write.. My hat's off to anyone who takes it on.

Of Stoners and Lovers

Thoughts flowing
From mouth to ear
Approaching the
Speed of sound
Clarity
Moments past
Days wasted
Oblivion
Wasted days
Past moments
Clarity
Sound of speed
The approaching
Ear to mouth from
Flowing thoughts

17 Years Ago


aaarrrrggggg!!! This is the most frustrating challenge I have ever done!
I swear I am ready to throw my hat in and call it quits, lol...

Here's all that I could come up with,


God deified eve;
Eve deified dog
Dog �I�m Adam�
Madam �I god�

lol... if you squint really, really hard it might actually be good, lmao.

Kasia.
::drool::

ps
it's supposed to be lined up like this...


God deified eve; Eve deified dog
Dog �I�m Adam", Madam �I god�

but it's easier to read the other way, (just squint, really it works, lol)

Great challenge and one that takes a little thought.
I doubt I have ever invented one, but have used them along the way.
Here's some off the top of my head:

Pop.
Toot.
Level.
Nun.
Non.
Bob.
Radar.
Mom.
Dad.
Madam.
Civic.
Rotor.

Can multiple words count?

Like:

Evil live.

God dog.

I have heard arguments for and against, but I think they count.

You guys are amazing, this has been indeed a tough one, but you've created some wonderful works! Here goes my silly attempt :P

Quote:
Dogma: I am God


Little are chances
Surviving, the challenge
Nothing becomes everything
Power of resolution
Evil, in a can I live
Resolution of power
Everything becomes nothing
The challenge, surviving
Chances are little



"Dogma: I am God" Palindrome by Valerie J.

If you'd like, for easier access for everyone to read, you can post the url's of the poems and I'll create a link to them ;)
