Gently
flowing waves,
Grainy sand
through toes,
Soles bare and damp
under earth,
Spraying seas –
quietly beckoning
~ Beach ~
beckoning quietly,
Seas spraying;
Earth under
damp and bare soles,
Toes through
sand grainy,
Waves flowing
gently

A palindrome, by definition, is a word, phrase, verse, sentence, or even poem that reads the same forward or backward.

19 April 2017 at 3:48 pmThat was amazing Sanch! I always think of “Able was I ere I saw Elba” when it comes to palindromes (I’m not sure Napoleon actually said it, but it’s attributed to him regardless)

I have been thinking each day this month that I need to remember it is National Poetry Month.. and your posts inspire each day as well.. but I am finally sticking to reading a poem a day .. from posts everywhere.. instead of writing them
