It is not a "mirror" poem, because, as we have seen, Robert Lee Brewer has applied that term to the "palindrome" poem (http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/poetic-asides/personal-updates/poetic-form-palindrome-poetry-or-mirror-poem); however, he refers to a poem where the order of all the words exactly reverses, not just a reversal of the poem line by line. I first encountered the line-by-line reflection in an issue of <i>Poetry</i>, in Randall Mann's "Order" (http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poem/245620). I hope one of your blog's readers knows of a formal term for this type of poem.Thomas Alan Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937149450018575538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507971738519746004.post-83903261830836887382015-05-01T07:18:14.917-05:002015-05-01T07:18:14.917-05:00Wow, Vince, that is really clever.
