Save your scratch in a small vase
Paris, they say, is better in pairs
Arcs of triumph encircled by cars
Scare the children, and no one cares
State your case to the makers of taste
The eyes on you and me, they see
Heats the spring into summer’s haste
Ate alfresco with a steeping tea
Cider salted by the tears we cried
Peach perfume bought on the cheap
Tired of all the cobbled streets tried
Peek at all these secrets to keep
Rat rummaged garbage made art
Night is made of stuff and thing
Earth must reveal its true heart
Sign the road along where angels sing
Atoms burn bridges over the moats
Stone the crows, we’re taking notes
Written for prompt #7 at the Chimeric Poetry Scavenger Hunt:
An (extended) shadow sonnet, where the shadow words are anagrammatical (because, why make it easy?)! This took a long time, even with help from AI to find the anagrams that may also rhyme. This is also why it is extended, as I couldn’t figure out what to trim after all that effort. Did my ideas translate well enough through all the restrictions?

Wow! I thought I was the only one to torture myself by making a prompt harder!! Your anagrams are beautifully constructed!!!
