"deviltry" is an ancient version of devilry ... eh, I just like it better. :))
sarcophagus: These are the words used in end rhymes taken from the letters of the title:
"hour, hush, sour, gush, crass, soars, rash, roars, hop, cash, shop, gash, car, har"
I DID use a couple three letter words, what the hell, I got an abab cdcd efef gg rhyme scheme out of it. Gimme a break. LOL
Topic: Write an anagram poem using one of the following words as your title : gravestones, ghostliness, broomsticks, apparitions, nightmarish, sarcophagus, frightening
The word you pick from the choices above should be your poem's title and the one from which you find other words to end each line of your poem.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist going with a spooky theme again since it's so close to Halloween. :)
Anagram Poem
The Anagram Poems are adopted from the word game puzzles found in several syndicated newspapers. Here's how you do it:
1. Choose a single-word title (longer words work better; aim for eleven letters).
2. Find as many words as you can within that title that contain four letters or more (one-, two-, and three-letter words are not allowed, they're too easy).
3. Write a poem with the same number of lines as there are letters in the title. Each line must end with one of the words contained within the title word, and the poem should address the idea in the title. No two lines may end with the same word. You may not add -s or -ing or -ed or any other suffix or prefix.
(The "s" I added in a couple words is IN the word, so it's okay)
