This is, most unfortunately, my latest work.
I say unfortunate because it's been to long. I am no poet, though I'd love to be able to pretend to mimic a person trying really hard to come up with something similar to poetry.
This was an emotional response to a play I understudied a young man going through some tough times. Here is some poetry I wrote about him. I call it "Traeh Cixelsyd" (( Hint: Read it backwards and look at the shape of the poem.)) [ Note: this was edited for PG-13nes]

Dyslexic Cixelsyd
Thgil elttil siht This little Light
Epacse terces ym My secret escape
Thgilf em stnarg ti it grants me flight
Epac repus thgirb bright super cape
Ecraf a s'ylimaf Family's a farce
Rehtom ym ssim Miss my mother
Esra na s'rehtaf Father's an arse
Rehtona tnaw t'nod Don't want another
Ezah yggof siht This foggy haze
Thguoht raelcnu na An unclear thought
'Esahp a tsuj' 'Just a phase'
Tops ni repeed Deeper in spot
Niap on ereh Here no pain
Gnidaer on No reading
