I’ve often thought I’d have a go at found poetry, but it wasn’t until yesterday when I https://cherylandrews.wordpress.com/2017/03/30/fire/#comment-8474 saw Cheryl’s re-blog of a post by CB Wentworth that I was inspired enough to try.
Cheryl responded to my comment by asking me to post if I tried, so here it is.
I didn’t have an appropriate pen and have no idea where my paints are, so I used a whiteboard marker and a biro.
Do pop over to both Cheryl and CB, ‘Fire’ is absolutely beautiful. I’m going to try this again soon, it was good fun. Thanks again Cheryl, this could be addictive.

What fun this is, and what a beauty you’ve created. I made a number of such when I was writing teaching notes to go with the school magazine, hoping primary school kids would have as much fun playing around as I did.
I wish you’d do some more, with your wordsmithery it’d be brilliant!
You’re far too generous! I’ve got blog-ideas coming out my ears – nine drafts, I think, at last look. I’ll add it to the list. How did you go about it. I cut out words that caught my fancy from headlines, and then physically moved them around. I think I was working to a predetermined theme too, tied to the story the lesson idea was attached to.
I’ve always got lots I’d like to post but not enough time!I found a book I’d bought in a charity shop, pulled out a page, ringed around some likely words and blacked out the rest of the page 🙂
Well found, Gilly.
Thanks Tish!
A lovely poem found, Gilly.
Thanks Cheryl for the inspiration!
That’s pretty nifty 🙂 I’m astounded that Meg has 9 in draft. I seldom get past one. Hope you’re having a great weekend, hon 🙂
I have not heard of ‘found poetry’ so there’s something else I have learned.
Maybe you’ll give it a try as well?
Probably not, though it does look like fun.
Wow. I like this alot. Very cool.
this is brilliant Gilly! what a clever idea. will have to have a go one day when things so slow down at my end.
thanks for sharing.
Oh well done Gilly .. I must give this a go 😀
Love this i’ve seen this a few times but never tried it
