If you like watching Wheel of Fortune or playing Scrabble, I imagine you know all about anagrams and the way one letter, can change the
meaning of a word. Anagrams rearrange the same exact letters to come up with a
new word or phrase.
When I entered the title of my romantic
novel, Penniless Hearts at the above
site, the computer shot out over a hundred funny anagrams. Here are a few of
the best:
1. Shapeless
intern
2. Inhales
presents
3. Insanest
helpers
4. Lash
serpentines
5. Elephant's
sirens
The above phrases seem so alien in a refreshing, almost
poetic way. I’d have to say, my favorite one is, Inhales presents. It
evokes a greedy person who takes a deep breath, in order to hide his windfall
of gifts? Or maybe it’s just a look of guilt, as in a person with a facial expression
not showing enough gratitude.
I’ll try to use it in a sentence and I hope you can find
meaning for the other anagrams to Penniless Hearts. If you haven’t read my
book, please take a look. I would love to see your review on Amazon. It’s a
present I will inhale and appreciate.
My effort: She inhales presents like someone who received too
many at Christmas.
Your turn:
