Today: reversible poems
A reversible poem is one that can be read fro the top OR from the bottom!
Often the message in the poem is different, depending on which direction you read it. I have never tried to write a poem like this but I think it would be tricky. I’d like to try one day.
This poem was written by a girl named Chanie Gorkin when she was in high school! Amazing!
Don’t forget to read the lines from bottom to top after you read it the regular way.
“Worst Day Ever?”
Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don’t try to convince me that
There’s something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.
And it’s not true that
It’s all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be obtained
Only if one’s surroundings are good
It’s not true that good exists
I’m sure your can agree that
The reality
Creates
My Attitude
It’s all beyond my control
And you’ll never in a million years hear me say that
Today was a good day.
*Now read from the bottom to the top*
