Detached. Talk Paint Or Begin. (Black out poetry)
@japhofin8or introduced me to the world of Black out poetry a few weeks back.
His definitely roll a lot smoother than mine do. And make more sense.
I haven't bought a news paper in years, but my mother visits regularly and still sometimes reads the paper, so I asked her to bring some.
I had to save our books. I sacrificed a couple of pulp novels for my artistic endeavour, but it didn't feel right.
This is my latest black out poem.
It is harder than I thought it would be, but a lot of fun.
DETACHED. Talk paint or begin.
You've heard dripping of songs
Always overflowing
With that warp
Something seems to be off
Down on earth
But despite the mysterious
They knew each other
And together
In that zone
Many have been connected
Now our time
For release of self
Is coming
They live together
In strange verses
Like it feels natural that way
Because that's how friends are
With light in the world
Things side
Like the reveal
Between chaos and detachment
Easy tie to fondness
For there is oscillation between
The total disengagement from world
But that kind of nihilism
Constantly resist
At the end
Optimistic doesn't mean we're happy
Being angsty helps absurdity of sound
Play together
Serve more purpose
Be optimistic
Just be
A statement
People are relatable
That's a cool way of poetry..
Just have to find a good newspaper article now..
But I don't think I'll make any sense lol
This is wonderful and must have taken some time to complete! I usually do a paragraph or two from an article. Yours is quite lengthy! I'm so glad you enjoy this style of poetry. You've inspired me to venture into something larger. Perhaps a page from one of my favorite books. I lean toward creepy reads so I can probably create something quite sinister. Thanks for sharing and mentioning me in your post. Keep writing!!
FYI - I usually take a picture of the page I'm going to black out then black it out with paintshop or photoshop. Just a thought for future works.
Yes a good, descriptive book is better, gives you more to work with.
I have attempted a few, the last one I did was just plain offensive 😂 . I read it to my husband for a laugh but I couldn't post it.
Just making sense is a challenge.
In my research I read, the aim is to write something completely different from the original article. I'm just looking for anything that almost makes sense and flows. I need practice...
