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...
*Here I made rhyming lines. The rhyme scheme is aabbccdd-ddccbbaa
I have chosen "life" as the subject of this mirrored poetry because I believe that life is what we make it- we reap what we sow...a mirror of our deeds.

Make way
Be brave, play"
You have led the reader to wisdom. I like the above lines a lot. Take no chances. Know no joy. No weakness in the amazing poetry.

i would not be making comment on the structure because i am not familiar with it but i first i thought it was a shape poetry. The message is powerful. True, instead of blaming others for the consequences of our choices, we must stand by it or at least do some corrective measures if it's shown that it was a "bad choice". i am internalizing the wisdom of your words in here, Daisie.

Actually the first verse is the real poem which is then inverted to make it's mirror. So, the center must be the ending word of the first verse, and the first word of the second one or the mirror.
Glad you see that there is wisdom in this piece, Gab. Thanks a lot for the read and review.

It's also because the position is at the center, but if on the left or right side, there's a different shape.
Another neat new (to me) type of poetry. Your poem flows so quickly and smoothly that when I was reading it, it almost seemed like a rap song. I loved it, you are a master poet.

Life’s a garden of entangled moods reaching for the Sun, dreaming for the Moon, thirsting for the Earth. When I write with both my hands simultaneously my left hand writes the mirror image of my right hand. There’s a natural mirror symmetry within Nature.
nice! yet there is this one particular line didn't read much in reverse, almost the same in the other one... yet anyways, this is a good learning, it must be hard to pen this... you did well pretty friend.

Mas mahirap nga yung ginawa kong version kasi ang sample walang rhyming pero yan, I tried to make rhyming...imagine that considering na kapag binaliktad eh may rhyming pa rin...
What do you suggest nga jan...if it doesn't sound good to your ears?

impressive nga eh... keep it up! okay na siya, nawala lang ako sa 'a' na nakalimutan mo... :D
That is so impressive, being able to make it so the verses make sense backwards and forward. It certainly gives a lot to think about about life and the journey we take.
