Slink

Creep, and variant verbs (4 verses, a 'brief saga') 

Authors' Note: 

do a 180: a colloquialism for reversing direction deriving from half the number of degrees in a complete circle; here, as elsewhere, voiced as one-eighty

The author, an old palindromist, finds it appropriate to mention in the context of 'doing a 180', a few palindromic phrases using the verb reverse. These include:

Codes reverse, Doc; Noses reverse, son; Dikes reverse, kid; 

Drawer: sides reversed is ... reward; and the very dark 

Nooses reverse soon.

SONGLINK:

We had, a decade ago, composed two parody-songs dealing with these many descriptive words for styles of ambulation. You can join us in song by clicking HERE to start; but watch out for earworms!

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.
