Radical Revision Part 1 -- Write it Backwards

Here's a simple way to "re-vision" a poem. See what happens if you rewrite it from the last line to the first. Tinker with sentence structure and line breaks as necessary, but not too much. Don't worry about making sense. 

Try this with a poem that has elements you like, but just doesn't quite work. You may be surprised!
