Tim, although the sonnet bake-off and other TDG events test the participants' virtuosity to some degree, an event in which the entries must be poems of, say, eight lines or more which can be read as sensible, viable poems both backward and forward, word by word (though not letter by letter as in a palindrome) would really put us to the test. I've done it so I know it lies within the power of experienced versifiers of moderate skill. Call it the Reversible Verse Challenge.
Anybody care to second the motion?
