Some Original Palindromes

Poems:

Amen, Icy Cinema   [title and poem are separate palindromes]

Amen, I can!
I stop elastic ire
To see La Dolce Vita.

Covet?
I moisten nose,
Sonnets I omit, evocative clod!

Ale? Esoteric?
It's ale! Pots in a cinema!
 

A Poem about Edgar Allan Poe:

Do get in dim salon;
   (Ah, Tesla - ever analytic!)
A Poe opacity Lana reveals:
   Ethanol as midnite God.
 

Overheard at the flea-market:

"Camel bible, Mac?"

"Cameraware, Mac?"
 

A Mini One-Act Play about James Branch Cabell

[Rodney sat.]
[Scenario: Party, no belle.]

BACONIAN:     Is Sinai no Cabell ebony trap?
O, I ran!
Ecstasy!

[End, or...?]
