Poetry Forum

Following a suggestion I made to Nar inspired by his very anagrammatic presence, I think we could do with an anagrams train!

Think of it as a combination of the Haiku train and the bits train.

Form a poetic anagram of the person's poetic line that went before you, then post a new one.

All together should for a short three line poem, incorporating the last persons new line, your anagram of it and your own new line.

For example:

Poster 1.

O happy day when I get married

Poster 2.

O happy day when I get married

Daydreaming poet: Highway pin

I always find myself in rose.


Poster 3.

I always find myself in rose.


Sins fall. Do I my weary fines?

What do you make of that?

ETC.

Okay I know these aren't the best anagrams in the world, but you get the gist! Lets all have fun with this!

Try not to make them too long or too short, and excessive use of one letter may also complicate things for the next poster. Also acknowledge that some will be impossible!!

Okay so I'll begin with this one:

Molly, wearing a frown, stirs her tea.

P.S. I know at least one anagram for this one so it is possible!

Hey, Phil.

I owe you an apology, friend. I forgot to tell you:
I was inspired by your anagram-train idea, and set up a forum specifically for this.

I'll post a reply to yours once I find a decent anagram.

Cheers,

Ooh drat, jetsam delays his journey.

Cabs refueled as motors stir.

Red grapes glisten in the bowl.

Red grapes glisten in the bowl,
gathered to bring wine's spell.

The wisdom of ancient vines.

The wisdom of the ancient vines:

Some of it wasn't even nice. Fish hid

In the water, and birds in their nests.

In the water, and birds in their nests.
Bitter winds send the rain. The rains

reglisten the grapes, as they bleed.

Reglisten the grapes, as they bleed.

They, a peerless gentle sight; Bread

Would also satisfy my hunger!

Would also satisfy my hunger!
Thus, I duly gnaw my loaf. Roses...

aren't as good as Quality Street.

Or oyster lasagna. Quiet stated.

A peaceful dinner.

(I don't think oyster lasagna is a dish )

Nude pearl in café

Funeral-dance pie

We split the bill three ways.

Damn you, I'm sposed to be studying...

We split the bill three ways.
Her wispy wallet be thistle
empty now. For today.

Empty now. For today.
Now to my poetry fad.
One became two became three.

One became two became three.

Meet a cat. Hence "Meow". Robe be

Dry, upon the washing line, I beseech thee.

(Thanks nar! )

Dry, upon the washing line, I beseech thee.
Neighbour sweep thine inches heatedly
across the garden path.

Across the garden path:
That crap rose she'd nag
Me to weed from the bush.

Me to weed from the bush.
Hush bottomed reef. Mew
with catkins beneath.

With catkins beneath,
It's cash in the bank. Wet,
As my assets liquidate.

As my assets liquidate,
mass equity slides, at a
ruined financial institution.

Ruined financial institution:
clouds infinite. Unitarian tin
hut your only refuge. Pray.

hut your only refuge. Pray
purely, for you're naughty,
and have angered the deity.

And have angered the deity.
The hedge radiated envy. An
Obtrusive shrub hid your glare.

Obtrusive shrub hid your glare,
harboured its girl bush voyeur
from the vigilant park-keeper.

From the vigilant park-keeper,
peek, to viler hen farming. Perk
up! Your job ain't so bad!
