Hop to it

Hover

Lurk

Reverse

Scamper (seduction)

poetry lyrics:/ Ambulation? Appraising the hike./ Terrain skaters and dancers
 don't like./ Rocky beach, cliffside paths,/ Jungly thickets (no grass)./
 "Boots will suit such adventure!" touts Mike.

poetry lyrics:/ Ambulation? The hop (let's review it):/ Miming bunnies,

 small tots love to do it./ (Hind-leg push, airborne flop/ Then regroup with each stop)./

 Grownups, pressed, choose this gait/ When they're gonna be late;/

 All digressions they drop, and hop to it.

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 that use 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.
