Here's today's literary lesson. A found poem is a poem that is composed entirely of words and phrases "found" in another text. Looking through some old yearbooks, I was struck with the idea of creating some found poetry from my classmates' end of the year notes to me. This was a lot of fun...and more challenging than I thought it would be. So far, I've put together two poems, and one more is still being worked out in my head. Oh, and even the titles are from the yearbooks.
K.I.T.
It's been great.
We had fun
in History.
in Science.
in Drama.
I miss our fun English class.
Stay sweet!
Don't change!
Have a lot of luck!
God bless
in the future.
Writing Upside Down on the Bus
I used all my creativity
on another
yearbook.
Unlike you.
so cultured.
so pretty.
so smart.
Don't change!
Remember me when you're famous.
You'll go far.
I won't forget.
