CONTRARY. The backwards poem and poetry exercise.
CONTRARY
The paint color that was chosen was unmixed
The plaster is powdery
Returned to it’s original state
The putty, un puttied
Back into the bucket
The screws unscrewing the drywall from the walls
The perfectly measured wood
Un cut thrown back onto the truck
The smiles are wiped away
Purchases un made
The architect erases all of his sketches
The dream house is forgotten
The marriage never happened
He never asked
They never kissed
She never agreed to go out on the date
They never met
Who are you?
What can you come up with?

This is Alex’s poem (my Mr.) check it out. Well done babe. I love it. See you soon.
Have been meaning to ask-can someone tell this rookie what a pingback is?
I don’t really understand it myself…I always link…
That’s quite good! Thanks for stopping by mine! 🙂
My pleasure. I’m glad you enjoyed it
Amazing write, your very talented-Bradley
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words Bradley.
interesting approach
It was a good challenge for me. It was interesting to think in reverse.
Rising bodies, window washers
Sailing upwards, towards heaven
Disappearing flames
A sucked-out plane
Riding the Manhattan skyline
A gun put away
A passenger sitting down
No more nervousness
A final check-in
A regurgitated last meal
Throwing off cleansing water
A casual look at instructions
A devastating decision halted
No hateful speech
Empty blackboards
An evil inkling
A peaceful sun rising in the east
Or how many lives could be saved
if history moved backwards
That was amazing. So well done.
Isn’t it interesting to think backwards? To undo?
Thank you for taking the time to contribute and for taking the time to write.

Nice! Liked the whole reversed thing you did at the end! 🙂
Yeah it was fun. Thank you.
This is great!! I will try to do one…
It’s fun. Rather challenging though. My poem doesn’t read very well from finish to start but it was the convept of undoing that I thought would be a challenging exercise.
The poem was not shared
A comment was not given
The smile never reached your lips
You didn’t read it
It was not written
I did not think it
I love this! Awesome!
🙂 likewise – thanks for inspiring me! x
I’ve taken some poetic license with the assignment. I hope I’ve handled the linking adequately. Let me know, please.
