This is where I'll be posting all my palindromes from now on, regardless of whether they're BB-related or not. Needless to say, all your contributions are welcome too!
  
Having embarked on a Love You palindrome and getting really bogged down, it struck me that it might be more practical to make it several smaller palindromes----and a ragged assemblage they are too. Unrelated participants include Rihanna, T.S. Eliot, Renaissance painter Quentin Metsys, Ral Donner, Mozart and rapper Mos Def. You have been warned.  

Name Love You duo, ye voleman!

Anna, hirsute! Let Us, Rihanna

M.C., repel cats (Bonita, KS). Skatin' obstacle per cm

Do ogle me, Carson. Italy Latinos race Mel. Good!

Amen---I Dang Nik. No Honking, Nadine (MA)

Dart sued a manitou, Q. Metsys. Ral: "O Solar System quotin' Amadeus!" (Trad.) <

Fed sometime So-Young gnu. O Yosemite Mos Def!

O geek! I Bet 'E's Nice (LA). Alec, inset e-bike ego

Al: "Let's Put it up Stella!"

I Wanna Tsarina, an Ira (St. Anna, WI)

Ena LP riant at rap (Sparta, TN): Airplane!

Mona, mow a sieve. Eve Is A Woman. Om!

Here are all the palindromes thus far (and in no particular order) that I'm least embarrassed about. Enjoy!


Pop, no eye! Eye on, Pop!

Avid Al stops Bob Lamm: "Am I mammal?" (Bob spots L.A. diva)

Evade Kim, Ryanair. Be curbed, urn, alas in Ned's U.K. Capitol plot. I pack U.S. Dennis, Alan, rude Bruce, Brian (Ayr), Mike, Dave...

Deirdre V: "I ran if Russia is surfin' a river dried."

'Tis Bruce. Lyle curbs it

"Oh, a disk (RAM)----evade!" (Dave Marks, Idaho)

Shoot, o how Tsar Dennis kayaks in Nedra's two hot "Ooh!"s

Now I am a ham (U.S.). Om! OK... O Kokomo, Sumahama... I won!

One nil----or a con? Dogs, pets, sloops, spools, steps, God? No, Caroline... no!!

Loop MGM's LA virtuoso Pete's "Rael", Audree. No iPad? A pioneer dual ear-set epos outrivals MGM pool

Mods, I wonder: Rats, sun, eve, nut? Penn, rut, ass, ram? Deified Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Venus starred----no wisdom!

L.A. Bruce wrote "Rub Race", "Take Red", "Deirdre", "Wendy S", "Susie C" (in minor), "Ronda", "Mona", no "Lynda" (error: read "Nylon"). A nomad, nor Ron. "I'm nice" is U.S., Syd. Newer dried Derek ate carburetor. We curb Al. <

Do good----Anna will. A splay'd New Age moon and stars (Anna's rat's DNA). No Omega, Wendy----Alps. All I Wanna Do... O God!

So reharden, Mike, ego geek. I'm Nedra H. Eros!

Murry tramples a cruet. No, Carl, Audree Neva sinned not. Esme sets a tad ago. Buy an airbrush, soppy-lop! Aesop met a (a tempo) sea polyp, posh "Sur" Brian. Ayub Ogada tastes 'em. Set on Dennis, a veneer dual raconteur-case LP: Martyr Rum.

Good Vibrations:
"A. Layne pets 1966 Dartmoor debutante no. nine [PP]
/ Aha!----Vosse sees Esso V a-happenin' on Etna"
Tubed Room, trad. 6691-step, Enya, L.A.


Smile:
Version I:
Al, up----a.k.a... win! Eek! Look slow on wonderful Ullapool decal art. Lunar dadaism row mars L.A. prelims. All racks are paper----ask Carl (L.A.). Smiler pals ram worms. I, a dad, ran ultra-laced. Loop Al, Lulu. Fred: "Now, now... ol' skool." (Keeni waka pula.)

Afterthought:
Moo! Do less, ever I flame 'em... Al! Fire vessel! O doom!

Version II:
Al, up----a.k.a... win! Eek! Look slow on wonderful Ullapool decal art. Lunar dadaism row mars L.A. prelims. All racks are not a saga, sire. Tawny DNA, the less ever I flame. Parsnips pot an air by Brian. A top spins. Rap 'em, Al! Fire vessel, eh, Tandyn? Water is a gas, a toner. Ask Carl. L.A. smiler pals ram worms. I, a dad, ran ultra-laced. Loop Al, Lulu. Fred: "Now, now... ol' skool." (Keeni waka pula.)

The Honeys:
Tucker, Edward Elgar... no Idyll----Awake (Rue de l'Age). R. Pirsig, ere my loved one soon arise, sir. A noose? No----Devo. Lyme Regis rip regaled Eureka, Wally. Dion rag led raw Derek cut

Rae, here doth Ginger delete "Pray" (O boy!). Diane, drag Espagnole buoys. But Marilyn, I've led a parcel----"Go Seek" no more. Zero Monkees ogle crap Adele vinyl. I ram tubs, "You Belong" (Apse Garden Aid). Yo! Boyar Pete led Reg night-ode rehear...

The minders:
R.E.M., Leslie, Hal, Nik, Stan... I've knave Eno's up-ones: "Biff and Ooff R Us"! Spoof Rushton got A to G (not H). Surf? Oops! Surf food? Naff! (Ibsen, opus one.) Evan, Kevin at Skin (L.A.). Heil Selmer!

Yo! Joni LP maps say: "KC or Rocky 'Ass' Pamplin". O joy!

The Beatles:
Anna, George... heed Melua, PiL, ELO, Diana V., Ringo, gay A.J., Depp! O H.C. Minh, O John, I'm chopped! Jay (agog), Nirvana, Idol, Eli, Paul, EmDeeH (e.g. Roeg, Anna)...

George Martin:
Klimt: "Sir George, sir, is Pepper all atonal art?"
Iris: "He paws at Fabs BAFTA swap, eh, sir? I..."
"Tra-la! Not all are pp EPs, Iris, e.g. roe, grist, milk..."
 

Some names from our past:
O, I gall ebullient treble Doe. Macca (p.2) loots Lee Dempsey, Mikie. I, Kim: "Yes, PM Ed, Eels, Tool, 2-Pac, Cameo, Delbert T., Neil, Lu... Bellagio!"

Ode to the Sandbox:
O Mona, Ipanema's gargantuan "O" grades. U.S. idyll as sand in a box of tense Weimaraner nuts (ed.).  "Dog-nip?" "Si, Louie amigo dog. I'm a-e-i-u-o lisping." Oddest? "Un renar', ami." Ewes net fox (Oban). I'd nasally disused Argonaut nag-rags. Amen, a piano (MO)

Cats:
Woe, my subdeb Benoît, I love my dog. Hi, tachisme haiku (Yusuf Islam in a wasp mask). Cat Stevens' e-medicines flow. Wolfsen: "Ici demesne". Vet stacks amp, saw animals, if Usuyuki ahems I.H. cat. (I.H.?) Go, dyme! Volition ebbed busy meow


The last one in Research Mode:
Eno, Nero, Mono... One last one----palindromes unite God's exes. Do get in! (Use M or D.) Nil ape, not sale. No! O no more, none!

The first one in Look-Ma-No-Hands Mode, a holiday palindrome:
Gage/Dunbar demo's EP (Ayr, Rum, Eigg, Eriskay) for a bar of yaks: "I, Reggie/Murry, ape some drab nude gag."

>REV*L°VER<
Another classic album celebrating 50 years (SOON) and as close to being a palindromic title as dammit! Beach Boys began using WORD-palindromic album titles soon after:
>Smile/Y Smile<
>20/20<   (and then there was:)
>CALIFORNIA SAGA, California<

And speaking of word-LEVEL palindromes & Beatles ... Here's an older Beatles/BB word'drome-tanka poem:

      ->Beatles before long

    created 'the number one':

     "Revolution" <-> BRI's:

   Revo-Lution/Number One ? ...

- created LONG before Beatles'!<-

I saw this band called Tacocat the other day. Does that count for anything?

It certainly does. :=)

And so does this composition by John Luther Adams called Become Ocean:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DwvyCwgelA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Become_Ocean

I had to laugh at the critic who said that "after the first 20 minutes or so, the musical ideas had pretty much run their course, and there were no further developments to justify sustaining the piece". Well, obviously----the piece is a palindrome!  Grin

With all my other palindromes chock-a-block with people from all walks of life and periods of history, I thought it was time I posted a short one about myself:   

Ho hum----raw sin. Ho f'k'n ho, john k! Föhn is warm. Uh-oh...

Mad rettor'd. NIL Ap*s! [Nod*'n  IF!]<-
Now I wanna morph these 2 palindromes into one, and in the proces expand my haiku into a renga (or at least the first verse of one): 5/7/5+7/7 syllables. It's gotta be a renga for the RengaWagneR!! Let me take you guys thru' the motions. This should be relatively straightforward:
The first thing is that the word RengaWagneR still has to be in the middle, since it cannot divided meaningfully. Next is to determine which drome is inside and outside, John's or mine. For that we'll have to find middle of them both. In the haiku, it's simple: Rotterdam/mad rettor'd (after putting 'RengaWagneR' to one side). In John's, it's more difficult: "ho/John K."?  John's should go inside. Let me try that:

           >RengaWagneR<                                               (by SPdB & RWR)

     ->Findon's PAL IN D'
ROtterdaM? Ho hum----raw sin:
           Ho f'k'n' ho, J.!
                     ~
         RengaWagneR = John K!  
Föhn is warm. Uh-oh ... Mad rettor'd!
           NIL ap*s! Nod*'n IF ...<-

No, that didn't Work out. Instead it's a double haiku-palindrome/mini-renga!

No,  the renga will have to wait!

Palindromes ARE really truthin'! Like one doesn't get rich from (re-)inventing the "haiku-palindrome":

That's why I've stopped making palindromes----because there's no money in it. LOL
And they'd run their course. One should always know when to stop. Hopefully one of the Boys will read this and take it to heart.  Cool Guy

But don't you stop, Rasmus. Look upon it as volunteer work. Grin

Point well taken. And for the first time in HALF A YEAR: MORE than a week without a new John K-Palindrome. Now, I believe "it's over now"! Don't want to, but I do. Luckily John's poetic pen can offer so much more still, in other genres ...
So we salute you, sir, with RengaWagner's honorary mini-renga IN BLUE!:



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    


           >RengaWagneR<                                               (by SPdB & RWR)

     ->Findon's PAL IN D'
ROtterdaM? Ho hum----raw sin:
           Ho f'k'n' ho, J.!
                     ~
         RengaWagneR = John K!  
Föhn is warm. Uh-oh ... Mad rettor'd!

As a final closure and in order to make absolutely sure, I've run our 'palindrome-monickers' thru' the anagram-generator. And the results seem to indicate that we stopped ourselves JUST in the nick of time:

 LOL

I rather like Wren Gang Era. Sounds like one of these group names with three surrealistically juxtaposed words, like Insane Clown Posse.

It's a good thing I look through them now and again. I just found a mistake----it's now been corrected. Cool Guy


One of the reasons I stopped was that it was getting much too technical and much too computer-bound.

First there had to be a theme for the palindrome. Once I had that and had done as much of the palindrome as I could by myself, I had all these online resources to help me finish it. There was a list of words that became other words when reversed, a list of UK palindrome words, a list of abbreviations of US States, a list of country codes, a site where I could type in initials (say RVW) to get full names (Ralph Vaughan Williams), a Wordfind site for word endings and beginnings...

Maybe, just maybe, if a palindrome were to come to me in an advanced form----in other words, without the need for all this paraphernalia----then I might just consider working on it away from the computer and posting it here.

Well...

This is as unexpected for me as it is for you. Passing through Dunbar on a recent train journey to Edinburgh, my thoughts naturally turned to Murry. (Dennistown and Denny were two other place names we encountered.) Next, it occurred to me that Eigg, an island in the Hebrides (which is where we were heading) when reversed was two-thirds of Reggie and Rum, one of its neighbours, was three-fifths of Murry. Ayr and Eriskay gave me the rest of those two reversed names. The biggest issue was how to make yaks fit into all this. The rest fell surprisingly quickly into place. Luckily----I had no internet, no dictionaries, nothing.

Anyway, here despite itself is john k's holiday palindrome. (I realize that for those who thought they'd seen the last of these creepy word games this must come as a crushing disappointment. Sorry Billy, Howie, everyone.)

Gage/Dunbar demo's EP (Ayr, Rum, Eigg, Eriskay) for a bar of yaks: "I, Reggie/Murry, ape some drab nude gag."

Do you know this extremely brilliant musical palindrome by Haydn (Symphony No. 47, third movement) ?

That's amazing! Papa Haydn may come off worst in the First Viennese School stakes (everyone thinks first of Mozart or Beethoven) but his symphonies are a feast. I once played all 106 when working (over a period of days, haha) and wasn't bored for a moment.

But the fact that this movement is palindromic is new to me. Thank you! I've since found other musical palindromes on YouTube but none of them is as interesting (except the one I linked a while ago)...

Actually, my lone musical composition of any interest is a palindrome. You can find a description of it at my other place...

The task I set myself during the recent brief holiday was to choose a word (or in one case, a number) from the title of each track of my favourite BB album and construct them into a palindrome, keeping the titles in chronological order:  

He puts ace I.D. on water rut----a B-road, Norma. Jeer TM, Al! Care (1957 era) flew. Time's wolf flows emit welfare: 7591-era clam tree jam. Ronda, orb a turret. Aw, no die cast up, eh?
