As my sister Muselings have demonstrated, we’ve approached the Aragman armed with butterfly nets, howitzers, and an array of tactics. I aimed for congruity of the alternating lines, and didn’t worry about syllabic symmetry.
My seemingly serene (publicly, at least), alter ego had a lot to say about being the subject of this poem. She’s usually the Wise Woman, link to the universal. Maybe she still is — let me know what you think. Below is the revised version, followed by the original post. Comments?
Moon Spirit (Graf, 2006)
Moon Spirit
Om — is it porn?
Watch, howling, heady.
No mop I stir
but gates I open,
Import ions
of all persuasions.
In prism, too —
treacherous harmonics
I romp to sin,
bare it all in beaming light
Impostor in?
This Goddess of the Night?
Sin pit room,
raucous pounding sound.
Imp riots on,
curses ecliptic arc.
Prison it, Om,
for its own good.
Motion rips,
I stir the brew,
Trim poison,
cast away deception.
Sip it, moron —
vintage lunacy just for you.
. . . I Trip On Oms . . .
(revised, per comments and experimentation!
This is where I started:)
Moon Spirit
I Trip On Oms,
treacherous harmonics.
No mop I stir
but gates I open,
Import ions
of all persuasions.
Sin pit room,
raucous pounding sound.
Imp riots on,
curses ecliptic arc.
Prison it, Om,
for its own good.
Motion rips,
I stir the brew,
Trim poison,
cast away deception.
Sip it, moron —
vintage lunacy just for you.
Impostor in?
Is this the Goddess of the Night?
I romp to sin,
bare it all in beaming light
minor posit —
howling loud, heady, you must ask —
Om — is it porn?

I’m not sure my last, stand-alone line works where it is, but I loved the line and wanted to have it stand out. Any suggestions for rearranging this?
How about exchanging the line with “I romp to sin”?
Love it, Michele!
Michele Medeiros – Bernd- You are absolutely aminazg. I have had 100 s of comments on how great our photos are. So happy we found you. And now you are stuck with us! Much love-Michele & Johnny
What do,you think about me switching the FIRST and LAST anagrams? Start with
” Om, is it porn?”
And end with “I trip on Oms
Leave the second line as it is. . .?
I think that would work well.
Michele, this is a real tour-de-force
