Re Verses Poem by Florence P. Wordsmith

The poem that you've just finished
I wrote this poem you're reading now
my pride was not diminished
'I'll write it in reverse' I said

Inside the empty text
and knew exactly what put
the night after the next
and then I watched Memento

Everything and everywhere
every thing's been done before
the inspiration wasn't there
but as I sat and racked my brains

The grandest in the land
to write the world's greatest verse
a pencil in my hand
today I sat down on my chair
