R - Reverse Word
When I say " Reverse Word " as a form, I do not mean taking a known form and reversing the order of the lines, or syllable count. The Reverse Word is a form unto itself, invented by Walter E. Feguson III. There is only one requirement. You use the word in reverse wherever you would otherwise rhyme. That is, instead of a rhyme, you spell the word you would have rhymed backwards. You use a "semordnilap," the backwards of palindrome! Or, reverse anagram. It's hard to come up with, not only words that spell a word frontwards and backwards, but that make sense!
