AUG (2024), submitted palindromes #56

 

D.E.I.:  employment initiatives to ensure "diversity, equity and inclusion"; these were trashed under the aegis of the 47th US president. 

  On the 25th of each month, followers of  this blog 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. Their bio-profiles are indicated 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", and continuing with other well-known phrases, such as "Dennis sinned". 

Otherwise, their contribution will be grouped in 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). Generally these random piles will be published on the 25th of each month.

You can access all of this delightful entertainment 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.

Once you arrive, you can select your time frame of interest from the calendar-based listings at the bottom of the page, and check the daily offerings for any month from the start of 2020 until December 2024. 

As of December 2024, there are 1800 unique entries available on the daily blog, displaying individual poems (often illustrated) and wordplay, but also with some photo-collages and parody song-lyrics. Most of their key elements are also presented here on "Edifying Nonsense" in topic-based collections, such as this one. The "Daily" format also has the advantage of including some song-lyrics, videos and other material that are not shown here on this topic-based blog.

Spineless Verse: OTHER INVERTEBRATES

Re Arthropods (invertebrates): 

We had hived off verses about INSECTS, the most prevalent spineless creatures, and that poetic endeavour is gathered in separate blogposts that you can get into HERE. So, follow the links, and enjoy. 

But there were lots of leftover interactions with various other groups of arthropods that you can read about in today's post. As usual, the illustrative photos were taken, unless otherwise specified, on Giorgio's i-phone 7 camera. The verses and supportive notes are derived from poems submitted to and edited on the collaborative humour-dictionary site, OEDILF (the Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form). 

CURRENT CONTENTS:

Centipedes

California mussels

Dew worms

Gastropods (slugs and snails)

Chelipods

Ghost crabs

 

RELATED VERSE:

Authors' Note: Intestinal parasites belonging to the phylum Nematoda are transmitted primarily through contaminated soil; they include members of these worm-families that produce systemic human disease: roundworms, whipworms, hookworms. A related group, the threadworms, cause disease primarily among pets.
