So, what’s an Abecedarius?
An Abecedarius is a specific type of acrostic poem in which successive lines or verses begin with each letter of the alphabet in order.
Geoffrey Chaucer’s 23-verse poem “A. B. C.”—written in the 14th century, before J, U and W were even added to the English alphabet—is among the form’s most famous examples.

Palindromes……
A palindrome is of course a word (civic, radar, rotator) or a phrase (“don’t nod,” “was it a cat I saw?”) that reads the same backwards as forwards.
As a form of constrained writing, however, palindromes can be extended to extraordinary lengths……………..
In his 2012 book, This Is A Book, the comedian and writer Demetri Martin compiled a 500-word poem that actually reads the same backwards and forwards.
