Reverse Poetry Competition

In honour of National Poetry Day this month (2nd October), the English Department have launched a Reverse Poetry Competition. 

The theme of National Poetry Day was Play and so we’d like you to experiment with reverse poems - a reverse poem is a poem that can be read from top to bottom for one meaning and then read from bottom to top for another.   

Your challenge is to write a reverse poem, the more elaborate the better, illustrate it and to hand it in to Miss Reed in Rm 66 for a chance of winning prizes!  

See the stanza structure below if you’re not sure where to start!
