Oh my, today’s challenge gave me a fright! The task was to write a ‘Found Poem’ using words from random articles, books, etc, on the theme of Landscape, using Enumeratio (listy stuff). To be honest I could have spent several days playing with this, but with only an hour or so to spare today, this is what I’ve come up with. A little lacking in Enumeratio, but hey..
Not sure if it makes any sense whatsoever to anyone else, but it kinda works in my head! What I’ve learnt today is that I’m pants at cutting out and sticking – I’ve made a right old mess 🙂
Nonetheless, I did what I was told, and cut out and stuck (with thanks to The Guardian), but just in case you can’t read it for the excess glue, I’ve typed it out below.
How Much Should We Laugh?
Streetwise city
silencing the bagpipes
brings home heroes
with promise of new stars and harmony
They were not scared
rising from the rubble
for there’s no better time to build
Still
No distance between them
they were still alive
ready to kill us
I saw the muzzle flash
fall down buried in
the void the blood
There’s no damn reset button
Rebooting 
Wow! I think this turned out absolutely fantastic! The idea is great. I never thought of creating a poem this way!
Seems like an hour for you to come up with something has worked out pretty well. 😉
Oh thank you so much. I’m glad you liked it. 🙂
Loved it!!! 😉
I looks like you work well under a deadline. The challenge is interesting–I am not sure that I would have been able to come up with anything. Great job.
Thanks Mike!
You’re good at this! You should do more!
I don’t know if I could cope with myself making so much mess! 😀
The newspaper theme is very good as is your poem.
Thank you!
Well done! And I LOVE that you did it literally, with glue and scissors, not computerized!
Thanks… I’m still sticky….!
