1) Here's a list of links to collections of POEMS that honour palindromes (bidirectional wordplay), as found in posts on this blog. The shorter 'terse verses' of 1 or 2 stanzas are enumerated; the titles of additional longer poems with 3 stanzas or more ('brief sagas') are noted specifically in this tabulation.

For the larger collections, grouped in multiple sets, you can follow further links at the bottom of the primary post to proceed from 'part #1' to the next set on that topic.
