Talk about challenging! At NaPoWriMo this morning, we were directed to write a poem by putting our name in an anagram generator. That generated quite the interesting list of words. I also decided to combine this with the challenge at Real Toads where we were to write a hello and/or good-bye poem. I’ve italicized the words that came from the anagrams.
ripe pear from tree
sweet spirea scent
rest near ancient spire
entrap sprite and siren
with sepia praise
repeat Pan’s rite of sin
nip and tease at
nape of naked neck
enter garden’s gate
pant and rut till spent
musky rape seed in air
rest on bed of sweet pea
then spin star anise
to part eastern sky
tern preens and prates
her passionate rant
from aspen grove
sea tears near spent
as lovers must part
What delicious combinations were lurking in your name. Sepia praise for your moniker,
Smashing ingredients for poetry. I hate to think what I will end up with when I try.
Wow, the anagram generator really loved your name, didn’t it? So many poetically-inclined words, Teresa. This is great!
How lovely to “rest on bed of sweet pea” or to watch a tern preen!

These two prompts fit together very well for both the hello and goodbye. I put my name in earlier and groaned at the choices–which didn’t take me to herbs and animals but to odd sea leavings. Maybe I’ll try again. Meanwhile, thank you for picking up this challenge and leaving a tale of great action and imagery.
I also had perinea in there, and when I addd my middle name, I got pantyliner. :-) I was very happy with a lot of the words though.
I love the image you used with your poem, as well as the use of language.
You were quite brave to tackle this one! Very nice.
Something I haven’t tried…excellent and smooth sounding, fun poem.
The image and words remind me of a dream.
this is sooo beautiful and well done…… and I love the image.
I agree…image and words seem to be from a dream. Beautiful!
Oh man, the anagram generator sounds like a hoot. I shudder to think how much material I’ll get out of my full name!
Your combination of prompts worked well, very well. Nothing was forced or felt shoved in out of necessity to simply use the words. This was quite an achievement, hon. Thanks so much, Amy
