Today’s poetry challenge at dVerse is to write a palinode. As host Grace explains:

A palinode or palinody is an ode or song that retracts or recants a view or sentiment to what the poet wrote in a previous poem...

The writing challenge is to write a palinode. This can be in relation to a poem you have written before (please link or include prior poem)...

My prior poem, which I posted on April 13 of this year is Spring Reveal:

Whose legs these are I think I know;

Encased in jeans all winter, though.

Today I’ll shave, first time this year!

The spring reveal: legs white as snow.

And the palinode:

These legs of mine I will not show

Although it’s spring, it’s way too cold.

I’ll not yet shave as legs with hair

Are warmer than when they are bare.
