Anagrammatic poem
Anagrammatic poetry is poetry with the constrained form that either each line or each verse is an anagram of all other lines or verses in the poem.
A poet that specializes in anagrams is an anagrammarian.[1]
Writing anagrammatic poetry is a form of a constrained writing similar to writing pangrams or long alliterations.
