Svein,

"peterjb" here has written some palindromic poems. Since they are on his website I will link to one, an ekphrastic on M. E. Escher’s Day and Night (word unit, with the title as part of the palindrome), and copy one below (word unit, per line).

If I Had a Hifi

Signa te, signa, temere me tangis et angis

Tulsa nightlife: filth, gin, a slut
bombard a drab mob.
Star comedy by Democrats:
age, irony, Noriega.

Ein Neger mit Gazelle zagt im Regen nie.
Yawn a more Roman way.
Embargo? No, no, grab me
and detartrated DNA!

“Naomi, sex at noon taxes,” I moan.
“Pull up if I pull up!”
Niagara, O roar again:
poor Dan is in a droop.

Lisa Bonet ate no basil,
lived on decaf, faced no devil.
Mr Owl ate my metal worm.
Yo, banana boy!

Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas;
drat Saddam — mad dastard.
A Santa lived as a devil at NASA.
Ah, ailihphilia! Ha!
