Oh my God.

If there was like, a favorite of favorites, this would be it. Seriously. It's amazing.

Oh my God. That was amazing.

:3 A poem in reverse indeed.

The way I see it, you have three choices. You can sink, you can swim, or you can develop a set of gills. Personally, I'd be most impressed by that last one.

I'm going to kill you so hard you will die to death.

That is intense.

"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"

wow. that hits you really hard.

awesome. i wonder, were you going for something to have such a large impact, or did it turn out this way?

Thanks

I was thinking about that myself after I uploaded this... When I was writing it, I was paying more attention to getting the poem to work both ways than I was to what I was writing. I think it's the effect of the reversal though, more than the words themselves. That is, it feels kind of awkward and disjointed when you're reading it forwards -- it works out grammatically, for the most part, but the rhythm's kind of odd, and when I read it I just get the feeling something's amiss (I was actually hoping to work the words "something's amiss" into the poem somewhere, but that didn't happen). So when you start reading it backwards -- which is the way I wrote it, by the way -- the fact that it actually flows and (sorta) has a rhythm makes it seem much more powerful after having waded through the backwards version.

And I wish I could take credit for that, but, no, I hadn't planned that at all. >_< In fact, when I first had the idea for this poem, I hadn't even thought to have it work out in both directions -- it was just gonna be completely random forwards, and a poem backwards. It wasn't until I started writing that I decided to do it the way I did. So I think I'm just as amazed as -- if not more than -- everyone else at the way it turned out.

The alternate title is "The Circus Fire."

I'll deal with it... I'll deal the crap out of it! Yeah, I went there.

I'll see if I can get myself into a dark enough mood to write horror... I doubt if I'll be able to top that last one I did.

Haha, I think it's funny that you and Kate had like identical reactions.

Thank you

Yeah, it took a while to write >_<... But I like the way it turned out.
