Okay, this isn't for the contest or anything, but you inspired me to write a couple (fairly short) reverso poems that I would like to share. They actually can be completely reversed word-for-word, instead of line by line, which is probably why I couldn't manage to make them very long. I think I was making it harder than it had to be. Oh well. :-)

The Villain and the Hero

I guess I'll try the hard version.

Opposite Ends: A Reverso Poem

Wishing.

For company,

Not

For quiet—

(I have too much.)

Someone to talk to. Please.

I don't want  

Peace, solitude.  

I wish for someone.

To leave me alone?

A nightmare.

To come to me?

A dream.

*REVERSE*

A dream. . . 

To come to me?

A nightmare.

To leave me alone,

I wish for someone.

Peace, solitude.

I don't want

Someone to talk too. Please.

(I have too much.)

For quiet

Not

For company—

Wishing. 

Come

Pheonix rising

ashes falling

the moment

sparks

small things

and big ones

life of moment 

invincible

and fragile

life, easily broken

Complex,

reversable

inside out, backwards

Icarus and Ares and Athena

dreams of glory

Thinking of life

Dreaming

*flips*

Dreaming

Life of thinking

Glory of dreams

Athena and Ares and Icarus

backwards, out inside

reversable 

complex,

broken easily

fragile and

invincible 

moment of life

big ones and

small things 

moment the

ashes falling

pheonix rising

come 

Well, I'm ridiculously proud of my accomplishment. That was fun! *disclaimer: inspired by the song I was listening to's general theme!*

Also, just going to put in my opinion: Cho's way is muuuuch harder. I tried both and ended up doing Cho's way for a challenge, but honestly? You have to pay attention to the order of the lines AND the words using Cho's style, so... I really do not get how Cho's way is harder. 

Love Letters: by Brookeira

Blood, dust, tears, rust,

The dreams of two souls are faded, tattered, 

Wind, sweep, breeze, gust,

Wind sweeps away dreams that once surely mattered,

Can, need, shall, must,

Maybes captured in old photographs,

Lost heart, lost trust,

Scarred wounds, abandoned laughs,

All sit abandoned on the floor,

All sit beside the attic door, 

Unbroken silence

Spiteful Silence

Silence

REVERSE

Silence

Spiteful Silence

Unbroken Silence 

All sit beside the attic door,

All sit abandoned on the floor,

Scarred wounds, abandoned laughs,

Lost heart, lost trust, 

Maybes captured in old photographs,

Can, need, shall, must, 

Wind sweeps away dreams that once surely mattered,

Wind, sweep, breeze, gust, 

The dreams of two souls are faded, tattered,

Blood, dust, tears, rust 

I hope this is right. 

Katherine's Temptation

From The Enchanted Castle

Don't slide the

ring

upon your pale, slim

finger,

don't let it's cold metal

enclose your hand

with magic

like a chain;

don't murmer the words

"I wish"

~

Utter the words "I wish,"

enclose your hand with

magic,

let it's cold metal

slide onto

your pale, slim

finger.  

Oh, I made one! I have flipped words order, but I think it still counts!

Remember

Don’t learn

Remember

I can’t

Remember

Less to

Remember

Don’t die

Remember

To want, I

Remember

Flip

Remember

I want to remember

Die, don’t remember

To less remember

Can’t I remember?

Learn, don’t remember.

Art 

A line forms.

Twisting,

turning,

something emerges.

It crawls out,

as if hatching from an egg.

A light grows.

Shadows fall.

A cloak creases.

Movement sparks

That face peeks out,

then-

finished.

~~~~

Finished?

Then that face peeks out.

Movement is sparked,

A cloak creases.

Shadows fall.

A light grows,

as if hatching from an egg.

It crawls out,

twisting,

turning,

something emerges.

A line forms. 

Questions 

To be,

or 

not to be,

that is the question.

But what is the question?

A question?

Confused,

am I?

~~~ 

I am confused.

A question.

But what is the question?

That is the question.

Not to be,

or

to be? 

It's not right to be abnormal.

I'm not normal

It's true

I know

Don't listen to yourself

I'm just as sane as you are

When did being normal ever matter

I'm good enough

Sometimes you need to listen to the abnormal

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes you need to listen to the abnormal

I'm good enough

When did being normal ever matter

I'm just as sane as you are

Don't listen to yourself 

I know

It's true

I'm not normal

It's not right to feel abnormal
