It's not quite as bad as it seems once you get into it, kind of like a puzzle. I started making a list of words THEN I began writing. Not too difficult doing it like that. :))
So pleased you liked it. Happy Halloween to you. See, I'm actually responding ON Halloween. HAHAHA!! Irish Hugs, mike

You are welcome sweetie pie :)
My daughter had a son today and I'm coming to your neck of the woods to meet him. I'm so excited!

Mike,
This Potlatch Challenge-Anagram Angiogram Poem is enough to give angina to the reader. Just playing. I have not been brave enough to try it. The theme of sarcophagus is well played in this grim tale. Kids are targets for the perps. Interesting word choices. :0 GracieAnn

A very entertaining write, my friend!! LOL, this is something I had never tried before, but I think it could grow on me. Love you word choices, and yes some are a little short, but they in a great flow!!

Hello Mike,
I think the anagram is a perfect fit to a Halloween themed poem.
It adds to the mystique of the overall season.
Great choice in using "sarcophagus' for your work. I like the mix of childhood thrills with the ghoulish and sinister creepiness you have created.
Nice touch in your ending couplet. It leaves a reader with the sense of...beware...

Your intriguing title drew me into your anagram sonnet. Thank you for your notes of additional context as well. I enjoyed your imaginative word choices and alternating rhymes for the complicated form. Best wishes in the contest and enjoy Halloween- Joan

Well, this is evil, ha ha. Those poor little victims, out for their tootsie rolls and suckers, soon to be decapitated little darlings. I'm glad my son's grown up, ha ha. Wonderful entry Mr. Michael, I quite enjoyed this! Blessings...

Now I think I've finally understood what an anagram poem is. Very neat idea and you've done exceptionally well using sarcophagus as your rhymnotherus.
Excellent imagery with some delightfully ghoulish creatures, who are really or are they. Love the old sea dog finally line too.
Super job and all great luck to you in the contest. This one's great for kids of all ages.

How apropos - home of the ancient, eternal entities
honored by the centuries old, yet immortal, sonnet! ;-)
I particularly like the visceral quality of
On cue, tombs rip open, the stench wafting sour,
(you'd think all that dried skin and dust would ameliorate
the stench - but legend has it.......)
Great turn to the "fun" aspect, quickly cut off by the more
ominous potential complications!
Very fun read :-)

This shows the fun of Halloween and how excited kids get. It also shows there is some true danger in it and parents need to be careful watching their young children.
Which is sad.
Good luck and keep writing
Happy Halloween
