Wea’ve Written Weekly: W3 Prompt #106

This week’s W3 is now live, pardners 😉 and it’s hosted by our wonderful Punam
Sharma!

Please click on the link. This week the challenge is to write a Palindrome poem!

In a palindrome poem, the carefully placed words are readable both forward or
backward, word for word.

Oh my, please read my best attempt with a palindrome…

Only if 
Gratitude is always present
Empathy embraces life—
Only if
Loving souls
With
Gardens in bloom
Abundantly aligned
And awake
Genuinely caring
Gather “together”
Warmly to
Knit mankind
—Only if—
Will we see
Perspectives shifted
Hearts welling
Growing rhythm
Decrease fear and anxiety
- Gratitude -
Anxiety and fear decrease
Rhythm growing
Welling hearts
Shifted perspectives
See we will
—If only—
Mankind knit
To warmly
“Together” gather
Caring genuinely
Awake and
Aligned abundantly
Bloom in gardens
With
Souls loving
If only
—Life embraces empathy
Present always is gratitude
If only
