Let’s show a bit of formatting today. Here is the excerpt of today’s poem, like I would typically post:
and here is the full page, with words blurred out:
Prompt: This poem came entirely from the title.
It is really fun, whether working experimentally or not, to write a poem from a title. You might choose a line from a beloved poem, or even a beloved line from a poem you aren’t head over heels for.
For a more experimental take on this: Remember the container of words you already created? If not, scroll to the bottom of this post and take a look.
Pull three or more words out of your container and arrange them into a title. Write that poem in the ransom-style. Or just write it, with a pen, the regular way poets do. After the leap we discuss copyright. Blah.
Let’s talk about the way these pages are set up. There is some variation throughout, but this is probably the first place I’ve so blatantly mixed the mediums: handwriting, black-out erasure, and ransom-style composition (which I, in this gallery, consider free-writing).
