Palindromes Poems

The bugle sounds the measured call to prayers,
The band starts bravely with a clarion hymn,
From every side, singly, in groups, in pairs,
...

Did you know that Evian spelled backwards is naive?
I myself was unaware of this fact until last Tuesday night
when John Ashbery, Marc Cohen, and Eugene Richie
gave a poetry reading and I introduced them
...

Palindromes are spelled the same in reverse:
“Esrow saw racecar was worse.”

Some of them seem like magic:
...

Hopscotch is easy if you’re a tourist,
And the sea is easy if you’re a fish,
But your eyes I’ll never forget,
Like a woman singing in French-
...

Palindromes are poems best hope
of expressions of love and peace
in places of hopelessness.
Why highlight this fantasy of confusion?
...

With a friendly font,
not a miracle but a marvel.
A marvel? Remarkable.
Markable. Noteworthy.
...

Palindromes and paramours walk back
And forth in the night,
Tell each other secrets, kiss:
Floods of bicycles suddenly speed by like
...

Scarred in all too little ways- waiting for you
To come around, kicking balls,
Your jaw so well outlined in the pullulating rind of
Sun:
...

Rather this meadow is vacating-
An esplanade curled at the corners like the
Sly smile of a coy lover-
It is too late now to start anything on fire;
...

All the cherished lives building chicken coops
Up into the
Ceruleans of ceiling sky where the Titans were
Once rude,
...

It’s very surprising that “SATOR Squares”
seem to appear everywhere
the mighty Roman army had gone;
can they together, really belong?
...

Palindromes say the same
Whether forwards or reverse
It is like a word brain game
The meaning is never diverse
...

I found a box of palindromes
Surely you're glad I had 'em
Here's one straight from the catacombs
'Madam in Eden I'm Adam'
...

Time
It's always running
Running out
What is its value
...

Violins market themselves
To the illustrious depressive culture of
Irregular devils
And the staccato signals
...

Time
It's always running
Running out
What is its value
...
