Found Poetry

Picture
purely, found poetry, is made up of all words and lines that are found by the poet, (re)arranged to create the poetic form, but variations can be created with part found/part written pieces as well.  Considered the Pop Art of poetry, it can be visual or written.  Look for it here:

"Amelia" by Charles Reznikoff

Dave by S.M.(M).L.

We stand on the Watch Tower of the Gorge's rim.
Satellites hum interspersed with stars whose lights
reflect in the Columbia's waters.

Music reverberates off the rock
walls behind the stage.  We are
Dancing Nancies in a sea of Big Eyed Fish
who have swam upriver to be here, to hear
Halloween and Number 41.
The notes of instruments Crash
Into Me, and our Grey-Blue Eyes flash
because we have lived on Grey Street.
In many ways, this is what it means to be
American Baby; road trips with best friends
to build tradition, to be So Damn Lucky, You Never Know.

The Space Between your soul and mine shrinks,
and we are back where we began.

We rise up like a Butterfly on Loving Wings.
We both know that whether we Stay or Leave
this moment everything is So Right, and we will
always say, Hello Again.

Dedicated to those who ever saw Dave at the Gorge and know what that means.

    There's a poet in my soul; she's always been there, but is often neglected.  I'm letting her out here.  I hope you will too.  Here's some unsolicited advice:  When your poet speaks to you, just let it out, there's something there, I promise you.  Here you'll find ideas about how to hone your craft as I practice mine and lead you to some of my favorite published poems and poets.
