A blackout poem, by Lilly
Left page: a lot of text is scribbled out using blue marker pen, leaving only the words to a poem showing. Right page: handwritten text is copied below. |
Love is dirt and red.
Walk on your dirt.
Fold down the corners of your friends.
Let a friend write
to cover up.
Hey,
I really enjoyed this assignment.
Break the rules.
I think it's a great one to start with, although I think I still went a bit too structured. In later weeks, I want to break free a bit more - even break free of grammatical convention.
Anyway, I had fun.
Can't wait to see what you do with this page!

This is the first page that I actually completed. I had a lot of fun replicating the blackout poetry style of Austin Kleon. It was a great one to start with - I wonder what NHNH did with hir version.
