This week's featured poem is by one of our amazingly talented Pubbers, MichaelTyger. This is a fantastic poem and so cleverly constructed, I just had to share it all with you.
A Man A Plan A Canal Panama By Michael Tyger
A man from PanamA Made a plan without a shaM And began by telling his mA Never had she heard such a plaN After all it had some chutzpA Perhaps they could draw up a maP Lay out the lines to see it alL And pour themselves some tequilA Next they showed this great plaN Around to the people of PanamA Consultants looked up the zodiaC And worried for the mojarrA Nobody knew who to lay this oN All decided to hold a CabalA Leave it to the man who started it alL Plans like this were easy on the liP A chance to change Central AmericA Now the council wanted to ruN And yet it would be a bonanzA Many years since that dreaM A canal stands now in PanamA

a/n: So we were doing an acrostic challenge for the big Poet's Pub challenge and this idea hit me to incorporate a palindrome into that idea. A palindrome is a word or phrase that is spelled exactly the same forward as backward. I decided to use a very well known palindrome here. And I spelled it out as the first letter going down (and up) the front and end of each line so that the end result is that you can read the acrostic up and down both ends of this poem. The title of the poem is that palindrome.
I would like to dedicate this poem to my grandmother who passed away a few years ago now. She was the one who inspired me to have a love of words. We spent many hours playing Boggle and Scrabble or working a Jumble Word puzzle.
