Posted by shyla at 3:24pm Dec 27 '05I've recently heard about "found" poems. They're kind of cool after a bit of practice. For those who don't know what "found" poems means: Basically, you take words from a peice of work (ie an article of some sort) and only use the words in that article to form a poem. Also, you don't have to mimic the the theme found in the article, but you can, and I did. Here is my stab at it...
here is my link to the article
"Rights"
same-sex, sex, sex
is repeatedly heard
what of civil rights progress
that has, on all sides, best served
Americans true ideal
President Bush defended
his constitution of intolerance
an unjustified amendment
passed by the voice of fear
invoked in the voters of the U.S.
compassionate people make remarks
about the Gospel of St. Matthew
"We are all sinners"
But....
Have we all been refused the same rights?
Give it a try. It's fun.
