A fun and entertaining poem for april fools day. It was difficult but I made it though.

[Eric Pudalov]

Thanks Kasey! I figured why not do something crazy for that day.

[Lyn Anderson]

Sorry, this hurts my head.

[Eric Pudalov]

Quite alright...I tried to read it again, and it hurt my head too. I meant it more as a joke! ;-)

[Eric Pudalov]

Here is a translation: April first
Which is the truth
And which is a lie?

I honestly don't know,
but I'll simply play along,
because like Loki, the god
Of fire and a devious trickster,
I believe that the best way
To start a fire inside ourselves
Is with a delicious joke.

Who says poets don't have
A decent sense of humor?
I challenge anyone who does
To read this one.

Can anyone actually read
This poem without getting
A headache?

If you can, I salute you.

Happy April Fools' day!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I know, I am a wuss, I prefer the non backwards version. LOL

[BlackRose]

Pretty cool. Google sometimes can do wonders. Happy Late April Fools to you too. Great humorous piece.

[Eric Pudalov]

Yes, I suppose it can! Although I really, truly did write this out in longhand before I used the "backwards text" thing. And thank you! They can't all be serious, right?

[BlackRose]

What good is a writer if there is no humor somewhere on the other side, lol.

[maria ( rose)]

hahaaa,,how did you do that?? that's cool !!

[Eric Pudalov]

Hey maria! I actually typed the poem out forwards first, and then I found a site that lets you do backwards text. Although to be fair, I also tried writing it out backwards by hand first so I knew what it would look like.

[maria ( rose)]

Hey ! lol that's clever.

[s y e]

Hahahaha, I can read it! Woohoo!
Looks like I have a good sense of humour, right? ;-)

Happy April to you too my sweet friend!

[Eric Pudalov]

I think you definitely do, Noodle! And thank you...I couldn't resist.

YAS! I always wanted to be funny...
