Blackout Poetry…You may not like this

June 8, 2018- Well, this is pretty cool. I’ve never done this, myself, but it does look like something that could help start the creative process. I think that I’ll give it a whirl and see what I come up with! Here’s how it works:

Now I know that a lot of my other writers out there are screaming, “STOP THE MADNESS,” at their laptops because they already know step 1…which is to RIP A PAGE OUT OF A BOOK. I know. It’s crazy and mean and even slightly sacrilegious. But, sometimes art hurts. In fact, the BEST art hurts.

Step 2 is to black out all of the words you don’t want to use and create a new poem.
This is really the only way to turn someone else’s words into your own, some of you may be down with that concept and some of you may not. Do whatever works for you.

Here is a sample of blackout poetry ripped and recreated from my most fave Shakespeare work of all time, Macbeth. I love the blood and gore and fortune telling and the moving forest and and and…

Love this poem,  “I care about you. Join me in hell.” Whoa, that’s pretty powerful. I wonder how many hidden messages were contained in this work? Feel free to make your own and let your imagination run wild! Happy Writing!
