(palindromes#1): A dim 'No' from Ida. A man, a plan, a canal... A Santa at NASA. A Toyota's a Toyota. Able ere Elba. An igloo! Cool, Gina!

(palindromes#3): z, z, z, z, z, z.
(palindromes#4): Flee to me, remote elf. Gnu dung. Go hang a salami... Lonely Tylenol. Madam, I'm Adam. Mix a maxim.
(palindromes#5): Mr. Owl ate my metal worm. Never odd or even. No 'D'; no 'L; -- London. No left felon. No lemon, no melon. No sir, prison.
CURRENT CONTENTS (#6):
No 'X' in 'Nixon'.
Racecar.
Saw- and see- lines.
Sex at noon taxes.
Sex of foxes.
Step on no pets.
Authors' Note:
mike: short form for microphone, used more commonly for 'announcing', but sometimes used for 'denouncing' (condemning or attacking openly).
Somehow, the misleading statement ‘No X in Nixon’ achieved the status of a famous palindrome. The astute analyst might realize that palindromes are inherently poor tools for orthography.
On the other hand, here are three 'magical palindromes’ that provide correct spelling information:
No K in Nixon; no X in Nikon.
No C in iron; no R in icon.
No S in union. “No!”, in unison.
Authors' Note: Embedded within the verse are eight palindromic phrases, each in italics and green font, separated from each other by semicolons. This perseverating nonsense may be partly explained by the author having driven a 2002 Toyota Camry as his only automobile since 2009. That no car can compete for efficiency, value and longevity is embodied in the classic palindromic phrase A Toyota's a Toyota (see the linked previous post for further discussion.)

As of March, 2026, there are 2,000 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 these key elements of our work are assembled here on "Edifying Nonsense" in topic-based collections.
The "Daily" format, a formidable mix of genres has the advantage of including song-lyrics, videos and other material that are not shown here on this topic-based blog.
