Let's Try Palindrome

What is the point of blogging if it does not teach you a new thing? And learning is never easy, never too comfortable. Like a palindrome.

So, let me confess that I have never written a Palindrome. Whoa! whats a Palindrome? A palindrome is a form of writing, rather a poem that you can read backward too. Like LOL, Civic, Wow etc...

So my friends at The Real Toad prompted me to try writing a Palindrome today. So here we go. With my poem- Pen or Perish! read on-

Pen or Perish!

I told myself
Time to reinvent,
new
let's try something.


Pen my Pen,
will you
scribble,
attempt,
pain, sorrow, glory, joy
word pour,
a no contempt,
a new challenge,
I gave,
to self!

Perish or Pen

To self,
I gave,
a new challenge,
a no contempt,
word pour
pain, sorrow, glory, joy
attempt,
scribble,
will you

Pen my Pen,
let's try something.
new,
Time to reinvent,
I told myself
