Student work: Anagram poems

One more before this body heads to the gym. My students did great work with the anagram prompt. A few excerpts, posted with their permissions —

CHRYSANTHEMUM

musty men are her master
they see her as a chummy trashy muse

WANDERLUST

we learn as stars learn
sedated
wasted as a last sunset

PUGNACIOUS

pugs can coop up
in a soup can

GUNSHOT

shoot to sun
oh unhung sun
so soon

WEATHERS

Earth sews art,
water, seas

trees thrash
that were at rest

…

here we
are rare

we stare at stars,
aware

DREAMING

i dear am dreaming
in man-made greed

FINGERS

ginger grins
green ferns
fire rising

I see sense in freeing sin.

LUMINESCENT

sun: i see it set in mist
mice scuttle, still
insects teem in nite’s lull

ANXIETIES

I see sentient entities
six ants in tea

AUTHORIZED

I hear the tzar roar

I tour the tear
I hear the horror
