Palindrome poems are an interesting concept but practically impossible to execute without it sounding like nonsense, which can be good sometimes I suppose but on the whole it rarely works as a poem because it becomes too technical. I think calling it 'Palindrome' or something similar would help your reader.
I see you've made the whole poem as a palindrome as well as each line but in different ways. So sometimes the letters are the unit and sometimes the words are the unit and then as regards the whole poem, the lines become the unit. Very ambitious indeed.
'Dammit I'm mad' and 'dog as a devil, deified lived as a God' are famous palindromes in their own right so I'm not so sure if these should be used without reference.
If you wanted to use common palindromes to write the poem then there are lots of good ones kicking about, the trick is writing original ones. I tried to write a palindrome poem when I was a kid but I kind of cheated by using numbers like 2 and 4, sometimes as the pivot point.
Technically interesting. Cheers for the read.
