I was scribbling a few thoughts about how to organize my first palindrome anthology. I wrote down some category names and one triggered a nascent palindrome. Artistic or Bonkers was the name, and I focused on artistic.
First I reversed it.
artistic c it sit ra
Of course, there are other ways to split the reverse, but I tried that one first. Then I swapped the forward and reverse. I added a D to avoid the doubled-letter A in the middle.
c it sit ra artistic
c it sit rad artistic
As I knew from previous experience, many words end with C. I got lucky when the word mastic popped into my head.
Mastic it sit rad artistic it Sam
Mastic. It sit rad artistic. It's a.m.
Building materials as art. What will we think of next?
About Author
I’ve had a lifelong interest in English and writing, which I maintained throughout my engineering career. My computer language skills and open-source word lists made the Palindromedary possible, along with a sense of how to apply technology to the task of composing a palindrome. Drawing on my web development experience since 2002, a website seemed the natural choice for first publication.
