I, of course, rebel. I did none of the above.
My title is a palindrome, and so is each line of my poem: each line, on its own, reads the same backward and forward.
Grace might say, "No, it is opposition," which is, itself, a palindrome.
But how often have you known me to (a) take things seriously, or (b) obey the rules? Hardly ever. To read submissions from poets who take rules seriously, click here and scroll down to the list.

I like the string of letter palindrome Kay ~ This is actually difficult to do but you pulled this off with fun (stunt nuts), smiles ~
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Real Toads ~
This sounds so much like the inside of my head, I think it scared me:)
ReplyDeleteOh my. My head would explode trying to write what you wrote. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteYou Rebel, you!
ReplyDeleteMy head hurts too - you are much more clever that I could ever be with words Kay
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I could never write anything close to this!!
ReplyDeleteMy mind boggles at all these clever palindromes and you have pieced them together so they make sense in a holistic kind of way. I'm not surprised they did your bidding!
ReplyDeleteBravo indeed. I love what you created, Kay...my favorite is the lemon/melon combo! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good person. I don't follow the rules and end up in deep doo-doo!
ReplyDeleteI love it! YOU brought a huge smile to my face ;D Bravo Kay!!
