I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.

well this deserves to be on the front page,it is very clever,but it seems to of taken up residency,other poems need to be seen also

david-wakeling

This is very clever.Reads up and down just like the roller coaster that is Love.Oh what fools these mortals be to think that Love is everything

toreinss-pinwinkel-iii

So you actually wrote this to babe intended as a reverse poem or did it just turn out that way?  If intended it's ingenious.

removed.-mgzg

This is such a clever way of writing poetry and is an interesting concept, whether it was intended or not, it is still a good poem

Adamx

I've seen a lot of "reverse poems" but this is probably the most well done of them all, flows beautifully both ways and doesn't feel forced, lovely work.

removed.-q9hg

this truly got to me. It reminded me of how there are almost always two sides to any story, an outside and an inside. That you can never be sure if and when the coin will be flipped again and which side it's gonna land on this time.

philip-winchester

Such an interesting concept. Actions in reverse like you are un-saying proper statements. Bravo yes this a great example. Write on ,write on. We are anxious for more from your talented pen. Kind regards Philip.

QueenChrissy

This is very unique and creative! I it when people style their poems out of the ordinary! Great concept and phenomenal writing :)

Emnabee

Congrats on the daily Ariana! I read this up and down a few times. Its kind of addictive :)

SergePB

Awesome!  I love to see someone express themselves in intriguing new ways.  Hint: I read it from bottom up first...

Perhaps you should try a spiral?

Baylo541

Ariana, first of all the style was awesome. Second, if you didn't tell me to read it from top to bottom I would have had to read it ten times before I even started to get you. So thank you for that. Your deep thought in your work should be brought to lite so we can all enjoy. Keep it up, sounds like you might be going places with your talent. I look forward for more. Show us what ya got.

removed.-b3ls

This is really cool.  I can't say I've ever read one of these before.  That's a lot of work.  Now you've got me thinking....

SoVi

Love these types of poem. And it reads narratively as well. Top to bottom is the start of the relationship, bottom to top is the end of one.

Natz_450

If I needed anything to show how my relationship is going - this is it, truly..

That's Brilliant iv never read a reverse poem before well Done, i am going to try and write one my self , thank you.

drumhound

Thank you for taking on the art of poetry and not just the words. Poetry should always be art, not just puking words on paper.

anne-curtin

I loved this the first time I read it, & I both love, & respect it now, for the work you must have done. You earned the daily!

alexb

Absolutely love the juxtaposition between the two reads of this poem. Reflects completely opposite feelings you can have for someone and a relationship at the same time.

TedPoet

Your reverse poems are very clever. Makes the reader think about the issues: What is true-eternal-romantic-love? How do we recognise it? How should we make our romantic choices wisely? Thanks for the poem. Great!

nadine-2

This is by far one of the cleverest and easy to relate to poems that I have ever read... And it speaks so much of how I feel.... I'm at awe with your poem... Thank you dearly for sharing it with us... Have a fantastic day and week ahead

i read a lot of reverse poems until i found it boring and umm well predictable, this is a beautiful and fresh touch :3

CynicalStrawberry

VERY cool, reminds me of my math teacher who wrote a very nice letter for a student unless you read every other word in which case the meaning was the opposite.

jaemy

this has made an certain impact, knowing that we, human beings can write something so pure and make people overthink life more, is something so great to find out..and you are a perfect example of such a person

What wonderful way to write a poem absolutely love It, read top to bottom and bottom to top it works so well
Kind regards Johnny

KikodinhoAlexandros

Ah, What an advanced palindrome!!! Wish you could feast about "Angel Of My Dreams," a palindrome poem I penned nighly akin unto thine many moons ago. Congratulations, Ariana.

JaxeyBunny

I'm not a professional writer, but I do know that writing reverse poems are pretty fucking hard, and you not only managed to do so, but make it an absolute masterpiece. Gives me chills every time. Absolutely beautiful <3

macintyre7

Honestly couldn't praise this enough, so clever and incredibly well thought out. Also very true and sadly is the case for a lot of people :/ adore the poem !

format works well in either direction,
the polarity change is decidedly

arranged most competently&#8212;

Oh my god. This is exactly how I've been feeling lately.

This is very thought-provoking about the liquid nature that all relationships face! I love the mirror effect! Well done!

A well executed Reverse Poem which does double duty inasmuch as the lines are well composed when read in either direction, and the theme, as has been mentioned, is also 'reversed.  I've tried my hand at these before, and they  require great expertise  (and patience) to be successful.  Well done!  Denis aka Rhymer.

This is the most amazing reverse poem that I have read. Great structure from either way of reading it.
