Awesome palindrome ! Well done

Most people who attempt this form (and I will include myself among them) go for short lines and simple words...you have done neither here....this is enchanting!

Very nice Raj and as Hellon said, you didn't take the easy way with this form. The meaning or images of the poem change when the words are reversed and both "little" poems could stand alone. Well done.

It is rare to find a properly formed palindrome that succeeds not only in making sense, in the literal meaning, but also portrays a cogent scene. In your case you have done both quite well, the imagery is distinct and the night scene you captured is enjoyable.

The only suggestion I might have is the reverse use of encore. It might be tweaked just a bit. Maybe converting it to the gerundive?

This is quiet a sophisticated form of poetry. Very brilliant use of words for such a complex form.

Like the imagery you described, quiet refreshing and soothing and very enchanting in the chill of the nightide.

I love this form it bought out the charming beauty in the piece.
Bless you, Cheers!

This was excellent but also reminds me of home,
The song the coyotes sing can be frightening and yet, calming because it's natural..
Awesome write

Okay, LR that is one hot poem. I've read such forms before but couldn't understand anything. But this.. it's just crafty and alive. I like how you brought this image of coyotes rupturing the silence of the midnight with their howling.

Truly amazing!

I've never heard of a Palindrome before but I think you did an excellent job at attempting this type of poetry as it requires a lot of thought or time. So well done for having ago at this type of poetry.

As for the actual poem I loved it and I cannot fault it at all. You created good imagery and drew me into the piece.

5/5

I can only smile as I read this poem. A beautiful nature poem where animals and mother earth come together. Liked the images you painted with words! Well done with the form Raj!

Bravo, a difficult form executed wonderfully well, the theme and imagery created resonates strongly within both stanzas. I think you have captured the heart and soul of what this style of poetry is all about. If I have one criticism, as mentioned by Larry, its the with the word "encore" maybe this could be changed somehow? Other than that well done, a fascinating poem

I really liked the fact that you tired this form and not just that, but you even went all out and went for longer lines and bigger words. Your poem flowed really well and it read well forwards and backwards. Your imagery is quite enchanting and gives me a good idea of what I am seeing as I read.

You really did good with this form and I am glad to see that you are ever learning and trying new ways to test your poetic skills. I hope you continue to write these amazing poems. Great job and keep writing!

Palindrome - Ultaa Pultaa 'NITIN'..lol

Gosh, this seems such tough form..something i really couldn't think of giving a try.
Beautifully written, you did constructed everything in your own unique way...loved it.

all the best and take care
