Palindrome - A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing.

So! This is what this thread is about, only you have to write a story in a palindrome in six words that can be read backwards as well as forwards. :D I've had to misspell words trying to do this. :P

Here are some examples*:

Ma is as selfless as I am.
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog.

I found this very difficult. :P But I can't wait to see what y'all will come up with! :dieshappy:

God bless,
DairyMaid ><>

*some of these aren't six words, but I just used them for an example. ;)

Pride, a stumbling block.

Is that one?

A palindrome is something that says the same thing back words and forwards. Like in "Dee saw a seed," if you spell it out back words
dees a was eed
And with different spacing;
Dee-sa w-a-s eed.
Dee saw a seed.
:) Figured it out? :dieshappy:

Oh! Now I got it. I thought it meant back to forward, like sentence inversion. Makes more sense now. :D
