This is a FORM (SHAPE) Poem in the form of a DIAMOND. Every line - except the Middle line (line 12 in this case) is repeated only in reverse order.  This ensures that the DIAMOND has perfect symmetry. One has to ensure (by adroit choice of words) that the poem ~ makes sense ~ read (line for line) backwards as well a forwards. In addition to Rhyme & Rhythm another important factor in a written Poem is its FORM (SHAPE) ~ division into STANZAS (verses) etc.  A form Poem often lacks Rhyme but it always scores  A* for FORM !

    A good write A&B, I say; Say I, A&B, write good A. Erm, that's my attempt!

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Ooops sorry Uncle Steve ~ I sent a Comment instead of a reply ~ please check POEM ! Thanks BRIAN !

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      BRIAN HERE ~ Well done Uncle Steve ~ I award you an A for trying ! If one mirrors the Poem the shape is always symmetrical. However getting the Poem to make sense BACKWARDS as well as FORWARDS is a problem of a diferent magnitude.

      Blessing to You & Your Freewheeling Fido !

        BRIAN HERE ~ Good Evening UNCLE MIKE ~ Now Im in LOCKDOWN (should be back in College this week) I have more time for obscure poetic forms ! It always surprises me that Poems - in this form - make sense in their reverse form. I guess that is an acolade for the English Language not the POET ! Pleased you appreciated it !

        Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
        Love BRIAN & ANGELA ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

        Great diamond-form and I love that poem too - Kipling had it nailed when troubles prevail - keep in mind that time goes at its own pace but this too will pass one day soon......... hugs for you two .............. from Fay
