Congrats,Tailor!I would never be able to identify the anagram.
I just tried one. The anagrams were done line by line. It's really hard to get the new lines to meet the syllable requirements for a haiku.
This was the my original:
LitNet bangs along.
Whither the moderators?
Flown like autumn geese.
Here is an anagram version that works (also about the LitNet mods):
Long banal setting!
Hither a shrewder motto:
Know guileful easement.
And here is Miss Congeniality: more likable than the winner but defective in form. :)
Gallantest boning!
A metered, whorish troth.
Weakening. Useful motel.
Thank you Danik 2016 !
(lol) Enjoyed your offerings PB... I've done a few anagrammatic poems line by line, such as "The Road Not Ken: Ta !" (since revised)... http://www.online-literature.com/for...=1#post1267962 (hardly a haiku though... more a gambol through "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost)... keeps the mind young.
On looking back - where have all the poets gone ? (sigh)
7/25/2019... the link seemed to jump... TRYING AGAIN... anyway it's in the Avart-Garde Poetry Contest.

Heresy
There once was a god known as Zeus:
Not my god nor your god, so whose?
Juno who his wife was?
Such puns are beneath us.
It's Hera, see? Come, let's vamoose!
A wonderful anti-haiku PB !

When it came to sons and daugh-

Loved it!

Love your Haiku too !
I used the poem generator for mine and then did a (not so massive) creative overhaul using the Poet's Desktop website for thesaurus & pondering :)
Here in the ol' US of A it's National poetry month. It's been cool to get prompts and helps via the simplistic but helpful AI. When my google docs allow I'll send the link to view my current poem projects... and "A Gathering of Poems" with my latest poems, almost all salted throughout LitNet... and some of my poems from the last few years - which is still very incomplete from my other laptop. My other two poetry web pages are still active but woefully neglected and need a severe dusting off and updating from "A Gathering of Poems". My book... "A Poet in Garden Valley" still in perpetual revision (got to get a copy to my sister for her Birthday in July !!!). Ah, the link came up... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing
Should be viewing only with no comments, etc.

re: Thanks! Petrichor. Learned that the smell of rain has an own name! Liked the onomatopeia of your breakfast.

Liked that image. Enjoying writing Haikus, they are a good image training. Still having much difficulty though with the more extensive forms.

Pensive doves!
Another bright image :)
Haikus were among my favorite poetic training exercises... their brevity an aesthetic expression. Studying Basho's poetry is an illumination.

:( Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
More of a country life vignette I guess... ~ 81% generated. Btb: get my chxn at the store... and
chxn eggs have gone from $13/5-dozen to $18/5-dozen very quickly here (which had fluctuated from $8/5-dozen to $10/5-dozen seasonally at the big box stores last year - all prices USD)... Avian flu and new Farm Regulatory laws related. $5/dozen by local farm providers now. I will be scaling down my egg breakfasts accordingly. May have to buy some chxns.

re: Not appropriate "country life vignette" if one loves animals, though I own buying chicken in stores makes one forget, that they were killed. One of my frustrations is that I didnīt manage to become vegetarian. Meat of all sorts and eggs prices have increased greatly here also, with a two digit inflation. Hardly it eggs any more, because of intolerance. Always wondered and envied the robust Nord American stomachs that tolerate FRIED eggs for breakfast. I hope you find a good substitute, scaling a bit down might be positive for cholesterol.

Re: cholesterol... I have averaged eating 5-dozen eggs a month for more years than I can remember and my latest value is 144 from my blood donation recap letter results dated 2/8/2022... which is in the acceptable range... It's never been high for some reason (genetics?).
Love your haiku ! The birds are very abundant here now that spring on this side of the equator is in full gear.
