equinox–
the wheel balances and turns,
from birth to fading;
there is evenness
between light and dark today,
birth of autumn
autumn of birth,
today dark and light between;
evenness is there
fading to birth from
turns and balances,
wheel the equinox
***My first attempt at palindrome. what fun I had, reading my poetry backwards to find one I could play with that read sorta well forward and reversed. Owwwww–my brain hurts and I am off to bed!
Susan Daniels Poetry 
Love it! Thank you for playing along!
THanks, Morgan. It was fun! Now I am off to bed!
Is your goal of somany poems witten un so many days a self restriction, or one inposed, let’s say—perhaps by a work shop? I don’t think you can’ sorta’ have a palindrome unless it follows the rulse of spelling the same way backwards as forward, ie.’
A, man a plan, a canal, panama –amanap, lacnac a, nalp a, nam A
The trouble with restrictions is that are very distinct in how they must be followed. And poets tend to use them when they can’t think if anything else to write about. Also, the tend to get left at the sie of the road when their difficulty at maintenance becomes extremely a
arduous. Ithink you other poems than this one where of a much better quality and artistic.
Exercises are good to keep he mind sharp but no thepresent to the wrold as simply saying here is a poem I made. What do you ? Love me, love my poetry?
Heh–I am participating in a poem-a-day challenge for October–all of them prompt exercises.
Nice! You are one brave lady attempting these forms, well done!
it was fun. Thanks!
Oh you clever one! X
🙂
Me like your poem your like me!
🙂 cool! A palindrome reply to a palindrome…
You had to throw that in at the end, and make my brain hurt as well. 😉 I cannot even imagine what effort it took to assemble this.
🙂 I had to read a lot of stuff backwards before I could find something that would work. It was a fun and interesting exercise.
This is so clever, Susan. I could never attempt this. Well done.
Thanks, Celestine–it took a lot of reading backwards to find one that worked…
