Notes

This is an example of the Folding Mirror form of poetry I made up. The Folding Mirror form requires two halves of a poem, either side of a dividing line, to mirror each other structurally: i.e. if there are four words in the first line there should be in the last line too, and if there are three words in the line next to the centre there should be three words on the other side of the middle too. The punctuation should also mirror itself either side of the centre.
