An anagram is a type of word play, which is created by rearranging letters of a word in order to form new words from given letters. This enables to create new constellations and new meanings. The same procedure can be done with an ORCHESTRA which suddenly becomes a CARTHORSE by rearranging letters.

There Is More To Come
While there are numerous of creative anagram phrases which amused me a lot, I was even more impressed when I found out that there are people outside, who create whole poems out of anagrams.
One example, which impressed me most, is the poem of Leslie M. Kapshaw – she rearranged the first eight lines of William Shakespeare’s sonnet #116 in a very amusing style.
Sonnet 116
By William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken. […]
Oh Damn! Must I Refrigerate?
By Leslie Marie Kapshaw
I, altogether a formed instrument,
Despite slim motivation, mend love
In what we’d call a fitter Shinto shrine;
Where vermin rot, betroth some dove.
A fork (an extreme division
Soon eventless in the dark paths) makes not
That street biker advisory warning
So. I laugh when he knows what the non-bikers thought.
