Poetry has been with us every day, everywhere. Songs are a form of poetry. The Bible's Books of Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs are all poetic in nature. Epics like Beowulf are also poetry. That is why poetry has been part of our lives, with or without us knowing it. One of the unique forms of poetry in the modern generation is the reverse poetry. Reverse poetry is a type of poetry that can be read from top to bottom and have a certain meaning; and can also be read from bottom to top and have a different and opposite meaning.

Be learned and challenge yourself to create a reverse poetry.

China s Maritime Power dates back thousands of years. China has one of the oldest naval traditions in the world, dating from at least the end of the Warring States period in 221 BC. Nonetheless, China has historically been a continental state with a large ground force and only a coastal navy with limited blue water capability. The rise of modern day China raises considerable regional and security concerns, besides economic and political competition towards finding a rightful place in power politics of the South Asian Region and hence needs a critical analysis.
