Pole To Pole

A poem written in response to a Paul Brookes format challenge, this is a mirror poem. It reads the same forwards and backwards. 

 



Pole To Pole
 
Palin is legendary.
Pole to Pole
ice packed
travelling relentlessly
days and nights, through biting insects (and deserts),

packed ice
Pole to Pole.
Legendary is Palin.
