I've been cleaning up the attic. Yes, digging through sepia dust~ Over in the Garden we were asked to write a Palindromes aka mirrored poetry. Grace shared this info:
"The palindrome simply reads the same forwards and backwards, usually with a central focal point from where it begins to read backwards. Sotades invented palindromes in Greek-ruled Egypt, back in the 3rd century BC. In fact, palindromes were once known as "Sotadic verses." Palindrome comes from the Greek words "palin" (again or back) and "dramein" (to run). So if you read that backwards, it translates loosely into "to run back."

Thank you Grace ! Great form, not easy! Grace, Thank you! Easy not form-great!
Sorry, I had to do that!
