This is an interesting concept, a reversible poem which is animated and spoken word read over it. Not bad poem though I think it is a tad on the cheesy side. It would be an interesting poetic exercise to do as it is a very specific form of parataxis, just like my Plum Flowers poem only the whole poem is reversible-linear rather then all of the lines being interchangeable. The fact that it is written for the AARP is well…eeeh whatever. Perhaps I would like the poem better if I knew it was not written to win money. Either way the poem “works.”
