I Give

Introduction

I found this definition of this sort of poem on the internet

What do you call a poem that can be read backwards?

Extending that idea then of forward and backward are palindrome poems. You might also know them as reverse poems or mirror poems. These are poems that you can read for meaning in two ways–from top to bottom and then bottom to top.

I do find this concept difficult but the five lines that I have written were inspired by a song on "The Anti-Nasty League" by Pop Will Eat Itself, "Director's Cut" that includes the lines:

"I Wish You Heaven,

I Wish You Hell"

I thought it would be good to do it visually as well to show the change in attitude.

The Prompt

Write a poem that takes on a different meaning when you read the lines from bottom to top.

🔥🔥🔥

I Give You Hell

That Is Why

You Hurt Me

Even Though

I Give You Heaven
