A Crab Canon Poetry

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 🙂 

A Crab Canon Poetry

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

She wished it was a dream and cursed herself for being so stupid..

With no way out, she knew she was doomed for good,

The moment she discerned she was lost in a labyrinth;

She ran around in search of an exit,

Fear struck her guts and the realization crept in;

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
