It must take a lot of figuring out to get to these kind of words or sentences. The words you chose does read the same backwards. Brilliant conception. I don't think I'd have the patience to find these words and play them the way you do. Well done, Tom.

Thank you rod. Once you start, it becomes an obsession as you stark evaluating everything you write backwards and forward.

The only word I already knew as a palindrome in this poem was "Toyota". Your "racecar" and "now I won" are brilliant. YOU ARE A WINNER! Many cheers- Joan

This is awesome.
To have the words read backward must take some talent and you did it very well. Any hint as to how you select the words?
Well paired picture and poem

Thanks Erica, you just scour the dictionary, then figure out good links. It doesn't hurt to be obsessed a bit.

Good picture that complements your poem perfectly. I have heard about the form but forgot it again. The Palindrome worked perfect for what you are saying about your win.

Thank you Ine. Just a poem, didn't actually win. But at least i broke even on the week, so that's a win, i guess.

This is a very neat palindrome over four lines. That is clever and it sort of makes some sense in a way even if it is unlikely. A very nice morning surprise to wake up to. Thank you.

Human fervor is a desire to accomplish. This optimistic desire that was inbuilt within imagination has become a reality. This poem is an imagination and not yet a reality.
It only becomes reality if I experience it with my senses, though a reality poem it resembles, it an imaginative poem, 'now I won' has no full stop.
