You will never fall in love with me.
Don’t try to convince me
That I will always wait for you.
If you really look, you’ll see
I’m not here for the long haul
Don’t imagine
You give me reason to stay.
When things get hard I’ll leave –
Don’t imagine
I’m not like the others,
Goodbye.
I’ll never say
I love you.
(Now read from bottom to top)

Stunned when I got to the end. There is only one word for this. GENIUS!!!! ๐ I so want to try one of these now! Do these kind of poems have a name? ๐
Haha….what a contrast ! Reading from top to bottom gives a different meaning than bottom up……words do have meaning….Excellent work my dear!
I am totally in love with this photo!!! I had to battle Wp and the reader for a long time to find a way to comment cause I just had to!!! It is a magical picture!!! ๐ ๐ ๐ its been a long time since i have seen such a beautiful photo! ๐
Ryan! This is gorgeous, poem and picture! I’m so jealous. I wish I could do such wonderful work such as you! ๐
Fantastic Ryan โค๏ธ what a great concept I loved that, it’s always a pleasure to read your words. Love to you and the family in Oz

Loved the photo too๐
That was a brilliant poem Ryan. Such a clever idea, and it reads beautifully both ways ๐
Wow, Ryan, that was fantastic. What a great way of creating a poem – the surface and how it really looks inside. I still have goose bumps.
Whaaaaaaa????
Who can do this????
Ummmmm, I’m a loss for words and I never am.. Props to you.
Beautiful reverse poem. IT looks like you had fun with that!
I must confess that your romantic side is showing strongly here, and I like it! ๐
Ohhh, this was the cherry on topof my night! You are one of a kind Mr. Stone! I enjoy harboring beautiful feelings from our banter and your poetry so very much, and definitely from your voice ๐
Awesomesauce! I love how the meanings change from top to bottom, but one message point that did not, “you will never fall in love with me” . It shows how one’s perspective plays a great role in being determined. Great post!
By Jove. This one is simply fantastic.Cant remember having read something so beautiful in a long time.Hats off to you.
Take a bow, monsieur Ryan! Fabulously done! And the capture is stunning, as well!
Too cool for school! Love it! I liked reading from the bottom up better, I will have to admit. It made me feel good. : )
And thanks so much for the recent Like. That means a lot and it is always so nice to see your pic.
I’ve been away for so long it is nice to see I have not been forgotten. : )
I definitely preferred it from the bottom to the top! Amazing isnโt it how structures and lines can completely alter the feeling of a poem. I hope youโre well Ryan โบ๏ธ
The expressions are beautiful, never thought these kinds of poems do exist. I felt it by heart.๐
Oh my god๐ฅบso beautiful ๐๐ can’t imagine anything can be written in this way๐ฌ๐ฌ
Dear Ryan,
This is a clever rendition of a poem. The trick is to write upwards, meaning that the bottommost line is the first. Well done!
I have also innovated and invented some new poetic forms. You are very welcome to check them out.
Happy August to you!
Yours sincerely,

Man…this writing piece made my day…well done and a truly love that piece let’s you see it context from 2 perspectives!
such a paradox, when reading it normally it felt sharp and cold, almost like the person feels betrayed, and then reading it from the bottom to top, the tone becomes confident in love. interesting!!
It’s only natural, that, we want to, protect ourselves, before we know how we feel is, indeed, reciprocated from the person whom we have, feelings for, but, sometimes, we need to be, brave, in, saying these three words first, to really know, if, that’s how the other person, feels. And, so, there’s, always going to be that, risk, that, the
other individual doesn’t, feel exactly the, same.
