Focus on form: My Aragman
Tuesday, Mary posted about a new form, Aragman:
here is a quick recap
Pick a word or words, and generate anagrams by going to http:// wordsmith.org/anagram and generating a list
Pick some anagrams. They form lines 1, 3, and 5 of your stanza.
Complete the phrases in lines 2, 4, and 6.
The very last line of the poem is another anagram.
Hint: check out the parameters for advanced search. The word I chose, perturbations, had an overwhelmingly large number of anagrams, so I first generated the word list — simply a list of all the words that can be generated from Perturbations. There were over 1400 of them. Then I picked a few, and went back to the advanced options, inserting the word I picked and generating all the anagrams with that word.
Here are some of the anagrams I liked — some of them made it into my poem:
Spurn Abettor I
Spurn beat riot
Obstinate Purr
Protuberant Is
Interrupt Boas
Abrupt Stonier
Abrupt Orients
