Star (Palindrome)

Star
Shimmering Diamond
Always twinkling brightly
Luminescence caresses heaven
Sky dancing daintily
Picturesque
Glistens continuously
Exuberant
Cosmos
~Beyond our reach~
Cosmos
Exuberant
Continuously glistens
Picturesque
Daintily dancing sky
Heaven caresses luminescence
Brightly twinkling always
Diamond shimmering
Star

(Also Known as Mirrored Poetry) A palindrome, by definition, is a word, phrase, verse, sentence, or even poem that reads the same forward or backward. It stems from the Greek word palindromos: palin, meaning again, and dromos, meaning a running. Combining the two together, the Greek meaning gives us, running back again... The carefully placed words form the same sentence, whether it is read forward or backward. For example, 'Mirrored images reflect images mirrored' which includes a word in the center as a reversal point for the sentence or even the poem
