Today's word is "chiasmus" ... kahy-AZ-muh s ... Rhetoric. a reversal in the order of words in two otherwise parallel phrases, as in "He went to the country, to the town went she." (Dictionary.com)
Scribble
Turn the words around,
Around you turn the words,
A chiasmus forms a phrase,
With meaning that's not blurred.
So the pen in poised,
Or hands above the keys,
To put new thoughts together,
In a way that's sure to please.
