A Poem that can be read from the bottom line up, while also reading the title backwards...

               - Still Alive -
           A feeling so deep
           hearing no one around you,
           twitching thoughts leap
           surrounded  by negative voodoo.
           A memory from the past
            split second picture image,
            don't dwell and it won't last  
           evil thoughts cause brain damage.
           You learned a lesson from it
           be happy that you survived,
           be glad you didn't plummet
           of life your not deprived.


            I was inspired to write this because I think all of us have had a split second picture image from our past. Don't look back, just keep moving on. At the time I wrote this I didn't know it could be read from bottom to top, since then I have went through my collection of poems and found several others that can be read this way as well. I hope you enjoy reading it both ways.


Here's a little something more for this time of year,

                  
       - Wake up to a new life -
     
     She sleeps as a caterpillar 
       then awakes as a butterfly,
     now becoming a beautiful flyer
       relief inside a feeling of high.
     The fresh new smells of springtime 
       sun shines through her colorful wings,
     Waking to the bright yellow sunshine
       a feeling of new life springtime brings.      
         
         God Bless you and yours, J D Poore
