APR 25, submitted palindromes: RANDOM PILES 52

 

 

You have reached the "Submitted Palindromes" thread on the blog "Daily Edifying Nonsense", a light literary entity that emanates through the blogosphere daily (almost), i.e. 30 times per month.

  On the 25th of each month you will find a slide-filling group of palindromic phrases submitted to the editors by a panel of 7 palindromists. These folks have all been working on this project since January 2020. The personal profiles for each of these contributors are displayed in panels published here at the start of things, and then, we have asked them to provide (palindromically, of course) their views on one of the iconic items in the classic literature, starting with "A man, a plan, a canal -- Panama", continuing with other well-known phrases, such as "Dennis sinned". Otherwise, their contribution will be grouped in monthly random piles (a phrase that you might recognize as an anagram of the word p-a-l-i-n-d-r-o-m-e-s).

You can access this delightful entertainment right here by entering submitted palindromes in one of the two search bars at the top of this post and scrolling downwards through the wordplay posts that you will discover, OR, just follow the links indicated above. 

Devotees of palindromic wordplay can further explore limericks and other short verses about the classic palindromes (and quite a few recent concoctions) that are randomly scattered on this blog after September 2000, or collected into grouped postings on our more scholarly blog "Edifying Nonsense" -- start HERE.

APR 2, selected pics: juvenile "green" anole

 

Authors' Note:  The above photos were obtained in the authors' garden in the Carolina lowcountry.These cute little creatures are rather shy, and as they are strictly insectivorous, it's hard to entice them with food. Much to my chagrin, as well as that of the lizards, they are often misinterpreted as 'snakes', even by longterm human residents. 

You can readily find on these pages, a post with an illustrated poem about Carolina green anoles, and photo-collages highlighting their appearance in the suburban setting, HERE, and HERE.
