This morning, a blackout poem, which is a kind of found poem you make by blocking out various words in an existing document. This one came from an e-mail.
Response to Colleagues
Thank you

Limited
Space
Sorry about
Exclusion. We did reduce
Attempts to go lower
Rejected
Plans to knock down walls or
Whatever else is needed
The simple fact is,
We do not even have enough
Which break out
And anything
That I’m not aware of
Thrives with
Our own and that we’re all in this together
so much more powerful and hopeful than the actual depressing email
Yes! I think I should start doing this to all these types of e-mails.
Robyn, I’m loving these poems! Keep them coming! David
Thanks so much!
