A Crab-Canon Poetry is a technique in which a poem when read forward as well as backward would make sense, just like a palindrome.
Here the poem when read forward has a negative touch while in reverse has a positive touch. 🙂
This is the first time I have written something like this. Hope you like it. Please feel free to leave your valuable opinions in the comment box 🙂
The Forward Version
She woke up; as the clock struck 6
And tried to remember where she is,
She began to wonder how she ended up in a place like this.
As she remembered being kidnapped and her memory was thin,
Fear struck her guts and the realization crept in;
She ran around in search of an exit,
The moment she discerned she was lost in a labyrinth;
With no way out, she knew she was doomed for good,
She wished it was a dream and cursed herself for being so stupid..
The Reverse Version

As she remembered being kidnapped and her memory was thin,
She began to wonder how she ended up in a place like this.
And tried to remember where she is,
She woke up; as the clock struck 6
