Straight From The Horse's Mouth

The square root of infinity

Top hat...drowned cat...regardless of right or wrong

Steal away to the source...the energy

Spiraling,circling colors everywhere

Descending maudlin greys defending what is past and future and present

Insane bricks construct the fortress that keeps one down

Peanut butter and jelly with a side order of oatmeal please

Cross-eyed and tongue-tied...my bearings are scattered...tattered...lost

Contemporary minds should leave the corporate world behind to find their destinies

Cotton candy clouds were melted by the sun...it was sticky

Inspiration on the head of a pin...the penance is the point

Look out...the trees are talking and they're telling tales

The candlelight flickered a thought form

Manhattan melodrama...a scream in vain HELP

The sparks always fly faster by night

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The second collaborative poem done with my two best friends who wish to remain anonymous...I did the first line this time so skip two lines if you wanna see the ones I actually wrote...we each wrote a line off the top of our heads and did not read what anyone else wrote, folded over the paper...you can read it forwards and backwards and it still works....the peanut butter and jelly line I did that actually popped into my head...where do thoughts come from anyways...I was like for sure this line will not work and guess what it does both forwards and backwards...too weird...but love it...by backwards I mean start with the last line and read it up like for this one
the sparks always fly faster by night
manhattan melodrama,etc...pretty cool,huh? We drank lots of coffee...beware of caffeine...creativity may flow as in this example...If you like this one check out the other two we did collaboratively...And If You Don't Believe Me and Cosmic Electric Collective Unconscious...enjoy all three forwards and backwards and please comment good or bad...

This poem is good backwards but personally I think it makes more sense when you read it forwards but like I said it is amazing how you can write so that it works both ways.

Wow, this is really good, I love the words that you use to describe things in your poems.
