Simple Lexigrams are short phrases composed of words found within a source word or phrase. Most often, they are descriptive sentences that shed light on characteristics found in the original name or phrase.
Consider, however, the following lexigrams, and observe the poetic quality they have when put together. Again, each word can be made from the letters in the source word.
More complex lexigrams can also be created by adding sentence after sentence, creating, instead of single-phrases, an almost prosaic affirmation of self. Consider this example, created for one of our clients. (The letters of our client’s name appear scrambled for privacy.) Each word can be made from the letters in his nameSOULMATES
“Soulmates” Lexigram,
“A seal at last set, a mate, soul oases met.
As salt to sea, as sea to salt,
As muse to tale, as tale to muse,
So as to us, as souls to same, salute.”

“Oh Thou Dear One” Lexigram,
Oh, Thou Dear One
A complex lexigram based on the the anonymized name which uses the letter sequence of AADEGHLMMNOORTTUWY.
“Oh thou Dear one,
Yea, thou art a mortal man, yet….
Your own natal name, a holder to many an omen, to the way to a God, Monad, and Road to Truth.
Art thou now or yet ready, to go onward? To go thru the doorway and run the gloomy gauntlet, art thou aware, alert enough yet, to the danger, and ready to guard thy honor? Hold to your more moral nature.
Harmony, and Truth, a golden heart, your holy goal near and dear to who you are. You are a mortal man, yet no lewd lout are you, nay! No rough rogue art thou, Oh Worthy Man!
Thru torment and the demon horde, harangued and haunted, you held dormant your anger, hatred, and wrath, to let no amoral way, or glamour , nor ego, or any other agenda to alter thy way toward the gate, no dragon nor ghoul to delay thy entry to the realm, the wonder and the unearthly dream. Yet thou would yearn to go headlong, to wrangle the mayhem and the angry outraged youth, to try to turn another way, your aged, mature way to draw out.
The road to growth, a hard way to trod. Deny not thy true nature! Thou art a manly man, yet womanly; yea! More maternal your ardent heart! Thou art no angel, nor royal regal god or lord, yet thy aura, greatly haloed, a holy glow, a gleam around your earthly mortal head, your arm, your leg, your heart…oh thou art a human, yet thou art humane and dearly you yearn the end to war and harmony to rule the land and men and women on Earth, and you yearn to heal the woe, the world agony, to hand them a new way.
God, Monad, the Way, the Mentor, grant to you to author your own tale, to learn your own way to the harmony, the melody. The laughter, to wage your war to rule that who you are and to hold dear to your true and good and god nature.”

These examples clearly demonstrate how lexigrams can be more than short, one-line statements which describe the source phrase. In fact, wonderful word-play can happen when one strives to make these phrases pertinent to the theme being studied. Consider these biographical and master-work lexigrams and compare them to other shorter phrases.
