When first reading “Mountain Graveyard,” by Robert Morgan, I definitely saw how each word related to the word beside it when dealing with a graveyard. After reading more about it, I realized that the first words were an anagram for the second, and vice versa. I am so impressed how creative Morgan is, not only with the anagrams, but with how descriptive he was in painting a picture of a mountain graveyard with only using 12 words. My favorite anagrams were “sacred” and “cedars,” because for me they gave me a clear picture of a graveyard. I imagine a desolate cemetery that has not been cared for, with huge cedars towering over it. These cedars are sacred because they are protecting the ones who have died.
