List: Palindrome

A PALINDROME, by definition, is a word,
phrase, verse, sentence, or even poem that
reads the same forward or backward.
It stems from the Greek word palindromos:
palin, meaning again, and dromos,
meaning a running. Combining the two together,
the Greek meaning gives us, running back again...

The carefully placed words form the same sentence,
whether it is read forward or backward.
For example, 'Mirrored images reflect images mirrored'
which includes a word in the center
as a reversal point for the sentence or even the poem.
