I found out about blackout poetry when I was searching for ways how to overcome writer’s block. True enough, it eases the struggle but in the beginning, it was not easy. All the words that I read in a book are screaming to me, “Choose me! Choose me!” Finally, I was able to comprehend Attractive Annie and Life.
Life
real life with fictional strangers
life is tragic
life with great gusto
full of stories, business, breath,
disease
of pity
Attractive Annie
Attractive Annie
pure - pure
tender, amused, and touched
so critical
so considerate
a twinkle twinkle
grown – up little girl
Have you tried blackout poetry? How did it go?
You just reminded me of how much I love doing blackout poetry! :) I'll be trying it out again, for sure.

You should try it again, Mimi. Let me know if you do. :)
DeleteI wanted to try out blackout poetry but I don't feel good doing this to my books! Haha! Might just buy something from a book sale so I won't feel bad.

The book I used for this are from Booksale. I can't bear to doodle on my good books. You should try blackout poetry too.
