I moved it from my previous reply to here (Sowee!!)I'm still experimenting with palindrome poems, but since everyone here is doing acrostics, I thought I'd blend them together like you wanted. Hope it doesn't sound too awful, I'm new at this.

Love with all your heart
If you wish the fullest life.
Virtue guides your path,
Enlightening your world.

Never turning back,
Onward you march to your destiny.
Trust your heart when all else fails you.

Onward you march to your destiny,
Never turning back.

Enlightening your world,
Virtue guides your path.
If you wish the fullest life,
Love with all your heart.

Well? This was a little harder for me, since I first had to find a palindrome phrase to start off ("Live not on evil" is a palindrome, I just realized like a few minutes ago) and it was hard to use the letters as well. But I think I made the best of what i had.

I notice it's a little past Acrostics 201, but I'm definitely nowhere near 501, so I'm intermediate I guess. I think I did better than what I actually thought before, lookin at my poem. Comments anyone?

I just wanted to add this because i think it's so great.

Deliver no evil, avid diva I saw die.
Render an unsung aria for erotogenic id.
O never egg Alec Naif, fairer Edna Waterfall.
A nonassimilative, volatile reef-dweller - apparelless brag!
Natasha I saw die, render an unsung aria.
For Edna Waterfall - a liar - familiar feuds live:
Dastard Ogre and Edna!
Pupils, one tacit song or poem - or didos deft celestial lives;
(Ida rapt as Naomi.)
Laud smegma, alas - keep never a frondlet on.
So did no solo snoop malign irised sad eyen.
Oh dewed yen, oh tressed May noon, hello! Tacit songs rev!
Love's barge of assent carts base tarts,
A cerise Deb abed, unreined flesh.
Sin - a viand - Edna sees and Edna has,
Or bust fossettes, or redder rosettes.
Soft sub-rosa hand Edna sees,
And, Edna, I vanish - self-denier!
Nude babe, desire castrates abstractness.
A foe grabs evolver's gnostic atoll, eh? No!
On, yam (dessert-honeydewed), honeyed as desiring!
I lampoon solos on didos. Not eld nor far, even peek.
"Salaam, gems dual," I moan.
Sat Paradise Villa, its elect fed.
So did Romeo prognosticate no slip up,
And Edna, ergo, drats a devils due:
"Frail! I'm a frail all a-fret, a-wander!
O fair Agnus nun, a red Nereid was I.
Ah Satan, garb's seller,
Apparel (lewd fee) relit a love vital I miss anon.
All a-fret, a wanderer I affiance -
Lagger even odic - in ego 'torero'.
Fair Agnus nun, a red Nereid was I."
Avid diva, live on reviled.

I dont think I can find the time to make such a palindrome. Howard Bergeson must have spent a long time reading Mr. Webster's Dictionary, hehehe.

Icyflamez89,
I think you've done well. As for Mr. Bergesons' palindrome, I found it much too tedious to try to decipher, Though I must admit to being in awe of the effort that must have gone in to it.

This was alluring to me. It had a good moral to it and flowed quite nicely. the first what short and sweet...nothing really needed to be added to it. Thanks for the read!

This is a wonderful acrostic and I really like your palindrome title.  I was so impressed with the way that your poem flowed.
No awkwardness to meet the form.  I would like to do so well.
