Reverso Poetry Contest!
~❤️~
I know, you guys are probably getting tired of all the contests I'm making. But thanks to Cho (Everyone say thanks to Cho), I've gotten into reverso poetry, and I LOVE IT!!!!
A reverso poem is a poem that has one meaning when read one way, but still makes sense when read the other way. It usually has opposite meaning, but Cho had her own style, so you can either use her style or the original style. Just saying, the original way is much, much harder. We'll decide whether there should be just one judge, or everyone should vote on their favorite later.
Have fun!!!!!!!

An Ode to Fame: by Brookeira

How the mighty have fallen,

ruined by time,

stoic winged statues, 

falling from the peaks upon which they built themselves, 

like darker, tattered, tarnished angels,

blinded, felled by the sun, the limelight,

all just followers of Icarus,

they flew too far, too high,

the famous fade,

the idols crumble,

the gardens wither,

for no one lasts forever.

All fade from the limelight.

 

REVERSE:

 

All fade from the limelight,

for no one lasts forever.

The gardems wither,

the idols crumble,

the famous fade,

they flew too far, too high,

all just followers of Icarus,

blinded, felled by the sun, the limelight,

like darker, tattered, tarnished angels,

falling from the peaks upon which they built themselves,

stoic winged statues,

ruined by time, 

how the mighty have fallen. 

 

Crypto said pixx! Pixies? Angels? Imagery?

Ok, sounds cool! This is my first reverso poem but I love them so much!

Light Ballad

Light, shining through the window

Making colored patterns

On the wall.

How beautiful!

Symbolizing life,

Not death

 

It is lovely.

FLIP

It is lovely.

Symbolizing death,

Not life..

How beautiful!

On the wall

Making colored patterns,

Light, shining through the window.

Cool, I'll give this a shot! 

A Depressing Reverso 

If you hold your head high

Turmoil in your heart

Peace

You'll never find.

The world is

Shattered—
Nothing can hold.
I'm gripping but
Letting go,
Somehow.
*flips* 
Somehow,
Letting go.
I'm gripping but
Nothing can hold.
Shattered,
The world is.
You'll never find peace,
Turmoil in your heart,
If you hold your head high.
