pneumonia

poorly, nearing end, uptake measly (oxygen), nitrogen is adequate/ample/alrightcan't decide

leathery one of the checks for pneumonia is to listen for 'leathery' creaking sounds--who knows

Loud, early alveolar tones hardly encourarged reclining youth.

Levoquin, erythromycin, azithromycin, tetracycline help everyone revive you!

Lovely emotional aroma, thick hide, evocative rustling: yearn!

Unrequited

Unhappily no response, emotionally quashed, unloving indifference tortures every desire

sighing

Sussurating inhalations get heavier, indicating niggling grief.

So - ingored gets he? I'm (naturally) grumping.
Ah, sobeit. Perhaps I rant a trifle. (I'm occasionally narcissistic.)

A neat and gratifying recreation, as my mother's intelligent nephew guessed


Connoisseurs of the art, I am told, take the definition one step further: an anagram has to have a self-referential meaning, and it could be a phrase. They also recognize an "antigram" which contradicts the original word or phrase, and an "ambigram" which can be taken either way depending on how you look at it. A plain old rearrangement of letters into a different word is a "transposal."

Chambers alight naturalistically; Vermeer’s art stuns.
