I ponder reflections of reflections,
memories opaque as an ice fern lost
in a misty wasteland.
I wait to unfurl a dawn slate.
Note:- the end words of each line are anagrams, ‘reflections=ice fern lost’ and ‘wasteland =dawn slate’.

Love the striking combination of images, Nikita. They work well with the artwork too. Maybe the anagrams help to achieve that by changing mental associations. A thought or a question.

Hi Steve, thanks for your feedback. I wonder if anagrams in a poem operate on an unconscious level also. The online anagram finder is a useful resource and I find it can help me stretch my language and be more daring.

My pleasure, Nikita. A good question, my vague answer would be “yes.” I don’t specifically look for devices like assonance and consonance, but I had a feeling that there was some sort of echo there (before I read further). I think that’s sufficiently vague. 😃
