REVERSO






In the bathroom
where humidity rises
blooms
the orchid
in a flourish
again.

Again
in a flourish
the orchid
blooms
where humidity rises
in the bathroom.


    This reverso poem reads well no matter which direction you want to read it in.  Which way do you like better?
   My husband likes to grow orchids and he has had amazing success with getting the flowers to bloom again this year.  This plant has half a dozen blooms on it and the stalk has another half dozen buds to bloom later.  This dear plant gives us so much happiness, I had to make it the topic for my poem for David L. Harrison's word of the month challenge.
   For your challenge for today, can you try writing your own reverso poem, one that reads well from top to bottom and from bottom to top?  Have fun experimenting with this form.
