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,
- Neil

The wisdom of the ancient vines:
Some of it wasn't even nice. Fish hid
In the water, and birds in their nests.

Reglisten the grapes, as they bleed.
They, a peerless gentle sight; Bread
Would also satisfy my hunger!

One became two became three.
Meet a cat. Hence "Meow". Robe be
Dry, upon the washing line, I beseech thee.
