Boustrophedon Challenge

14 Years Ago


Here's a tricky challenge, you begin the first line but every second line should read in reverse. Not very easy to do and here is my attempt from a couple of years back.  The Wicked  The wicked never rest
Tset eht ssap yeht fi
For they scream this night
Thgis morf edih yeht dna
They come to close your eyes
Seirc rieht era esruc a
They come for you, be assured
Drawer ruoy eb llahs htaed rof
The wicked will come at last
Tsac eb lliw lleps rieht dna
You can not run if you try
Eid si od won nac uoy lla

An interesting idea. However, it was PAINFUL for me to try and read every other line from right to left. Since it was painful for me to read, I refuse to write it, keeping the potential readers in mind. And heh, I probably would thing it was a weird language, as well:P
