A poem a day keeps the cobwebs off my keyboard.

Down the Lane Where the Daisies Grow
Down the lane where the daisies grow
There’s a place where my heart still goes
In a grassy meadow, buzzing with bees
With baseball games and the climbing of trees
Sweet, summer days when we ran so free
The best of friends, you and me
There’s a place where my heart still goes
Down the lane where the daisies grow

Down the lane where the daisies grow
There’s a place where my heart still goes
The best of friends, you and me
Sweet, summer days when we ran so free
With baseball games and the climbing of trees
In a grassy meadow, buzzing with bees
There’s a place where my heart still goes
Down the lane where the daisies grow


16 lines

Task Prompt
Write a two-stanza poem where the second stanza is the first stanza in reverse order.
The poem should still be interesting (and make sense) in reverse

**Because the last two lines of the first stanza are the same as the first two lines of the first stanza but in reverse order, the first two lines of the second stanza appear to be the same as the first two lines of the first stanza but they are the last two lines in reverse order which means they end up in the same order since they were already reversed once. So, if you reverse the reversed verse, it looks unreversed but it’s just reversed twice. Yeah, that’s it.
