Today i will be introducing maybe one or two of my four readers to a new kind of poetry: Blackout poetry.
It's this wicked-awesome kind of poetry begun by this guy, Austin Kleon. What you do is basically scan a newspaper article for words and make a poem out of what you find. You use a sharpie to black out all the other words out and voila, you have a poem that's uberunique.
How do I find out about these cool writing things like Blackout poetry and 6WMs? That's easy! English class, where I learn 95% of what I am going to use in real life. 'Cause I am sooo planning on renting a loft in the city so I can do MATH PROBLEMS all day.
But, again, just think about it. it's actually alot of fun. If you do in school then having somewhat of a background is actually very beneficial.
