Today I have been slicing words from magazines like a blackmailing pro, to create what is known as ‘Found Poetry’. Here’s what I discovered amidst the piles of paper words…
Fickle.
Panoramic florals amplify the monochrome morning.
You rave with that cheap thrill,
Artificial in flirtation,
A moonphase away from a world
Quilted in blue.
I like the art collage end result from a found poem so much more than what I did in re-ordering lines from another poet. I gotta make me some visual art. lol

I used the twitter online tool to see what would happen and it was fun. I like what you did and lots more magazines could end up getting used.

I was very tempted to use that, I think I’ll definitely be experimenting with it soon, I’ll have a wander over to yours, I’m intrigued… and thank you, I’m quite happy to have found the technique 🙂

Super and not like a ransom note at all 🙂 Plus I liked the fonts you chose, they have a lovely overall effect.

Thank you. I think it must have been the mass of girly magazines that most of them came from… 😀

Yes! We saw it at the V&A didn’t we? He built a programme to do it for him. I remember being impressed, I wrote it down in a notebook and planned to do it one day, and promptly forgot. :-S x

I really, really love this. And you really did capture all those cool fonts! I swear, we are going to be making all kinds of ‘ransom’ note poetry now. I just went through the Elle and went “oooh, I want that word, and that one and that one….” I am going to be snipping out all kinds of words now.

I know what you mean! As it is i collect colored paper from magazines to make paper stars, but now not a single page will be safe. But at least I can clear out stacks of magazines easier…Who wants to read an article when half the words are cut out. 😛
