About 3/4 of the way down this page (past the huge, incomprehensible palindrome) is one I'd say is worthy.

No it is not a palindrome poem and is not very good either. Only the first and last two lines have palindrome form.

Here is a real one I found:

"The following poem reads from the first line to the last as it does from the last to the first. It was written by James A. Lindon and was first published in Dmitri Borgmann's Beyond Language (1967).

Doppelgänger
Entering the lonely house with my wife
I saw him for the first time
Peering furtively from behind a bush –
Blackness that moved,
A shape amid the shadows,
A momentary glimpse of gleaming eyes
Revealed in the ragged moon.
A closer look (he seemed to turn) might have
Put him to flight forever –
I dared not
(For reasons that I failed to understand),
Though I knew I should act at once.

I puzzled over it, hiding alone,
Watching the woman as she neared the gate.
He came, and I saw him crouching
Night after night.
Night after night
He came, and I saw him crouching,
Watching the woman as she neared the gate.

I puzzled over it, hiding alone –
Though I knew I should act at once,
For reasons that I failed to understand
I dared not
Put him to flight forever.

A closer look (he seemed to turn) might have
Revealed in the ragged moon
A momentary glimpse of gleaming eyes
A shape amid the shadows,
Blackness that moved.

Peering furtively from behind a bush,
I saw him, for the first time
Entering the lonely house with my wife."

It's not great but it's a lot better. A poem should have something to say not just be random words and phrases like your example. To be worthwhile as a palindrome, it should fit the rules (read backwards and forwards by line) but the lines should have a somewhat different meaning even though they are the same words. Otherwise it's just format. In the doppelganger poem notice that the exact same words in the first and last lines, particularly, are saying something quite different. That's the sort of thought provoking contrast that makes the use of words worthwhile.

Well knowing two things, viz. that Demetri Martin is a comedian and that he has (based on a commercial I saw on Hulu) performed a sketch in which he lampoons Slam Poetry, I am going to conclude that this poem is a parody. This fact has seemed thus far unnoticed.

Regardless, the poem is a letter by letter palindrome. I took five minutes and confirmed this myself from the last letter to the first. As has already been explained, a palindrome is a piece of language that reads the same backwards and forwards. "Rise to vote, Sir" is a famous example to fans of The Simpsons, but in this poem there are two lines that function as palindromes on their own, that is they would still be palindromes if removed from the poem. "Dammit I'm mad," the title as well as "Evil is a deed as I live."

In poetry palindromes are ultimately nothing more than a format, such as the formats used for Blank Verse, Petrarchian Sonnets, Shakespearean Sonnets, etc. By format, I mean it is nothing more than a predetermined rule about how the poem will be written, and the author must choose his or her words to conform to that rule. Poetic forms are ultimately used then to focus the language of a poem around its theme.

In this case Demetri Martin is somewhat successful. The randomness of the images, combined with their faux-profundity, make them a spot on parody of bad Slam Poetry (which in my experience with Slam Poetry, is about 90% of it), and most impressively, he conformed to a relatively difficult form.
