Anagrammy Awards > Literary Archives > Various Authors
These are from the third Awardsmaster's Challenge in March 2001. The challenge was to anagram the first stanza of My Love is like a Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns into a new poem about a different flower, keeping to the original metre and rhyme as much as possible. |
Original text in yellow, anagram in pink.
O my love is like a red, red rose, |
You need my seed, my Lily raw, |
||
The US president so likely yelps: |
Sin, my heavenly violet jewel, |
||
My lovy is sad, like primrose, |
Wee tulips grow late in Holland? |
||
My gay love's rude, like a pansy, |
My love's like Deadly Nightshade |
||
O, my love's name? Er, it's Janet, |
You were there, and you, and you, |
||
Ousting January violently |
O, seek soothing nektar I use duly |
||
My lovely rhododendron, I wear |
Anagrams with poetry, |
||
My love is like a red, red rose... |
Well-skilled, yet then a mystery; |
||
On seeing Jesus die, myth says, |
One lovely-hued, stout Herman eyed: |
||
My love is a stinky, smelly shit, |
Mey Kraus, inventive Jewish lad, |
||
There is no heartsease now you're gone: |
Hell, I want'd to lay your garden, |
||
Delirious, the happy lovers look, |
Daisy, daisy, lush violet too, |
||
Well, yes, my love, a hot red nose |
Lolita's just like yon olive plant, |
||
O true lily! Pale like snowy mills |
Sweet stamen pollen set on wind, |
||
Edelweiss, white petals I enjoy, |
