Redacted Suns, Blackout Poetry, Day 67 of the 100 Days of Poetry @d-pend
Redacted Suns

high pressure
atmosphere
plumes escaping
sparkled systems
she's venting
bubble surface
prisoner hollow
parabolic bridge
articulated arms
alarm
puddles coalesced
cluster encounter
elongating a diving bell
ominous parasites
encountered mechanism
broke the seal
disengaging ghosts
molten silver

This a black out poem. I got the idea from @girlbeforemirror who got it from @japhofin8or. Take an extended piece of writing an article or a page from a novel and black out almost all but a few chosen words. I was quite surprised with the effect obtained from this process. A poem did write itself. The wonderful thing about this approach to poetry writing is anyone can do it. So it's Friday and good day for poetry. Go vandalize a book and write a poem and then share it with Friday Poet's.

@prydefoltz,
Hi Pryde. I saw your comment in @girlbeforemirror's feed and figured you'd jump on this. It's a very creative idea. I love what you did with it.
Thanks, Quill. It is surprising how it turned out, isn't it? Did you write a poem today ... maybe you want to post it here ...https://steemit.com/poetry/@prydefoltz/friday-poets-poetry-exchange
I'm going to have to try that. ;-)
It was so worth it:)
I think I found my new motto "Go vandalize a book and write a poem", yea this is a interesting take on the cut up method, always fun and interesting when you throw some chaos magic into the mix!
I think the mind subconsciously picks a theme and tells a story. I was quite surprised with how it turned out:)
If you write a poem tonight be sure to post it here ...https://steemit.com/poetry/@prydefoltz/friday-poets-poetry-exchange
thanks!
I love how compact and dense this is, almost like a pearl being formed, or the pressure that creates a star or something i dont know i forget science, I am just a poet ! : ) Great way to create a poem , too!
Thank you, dflo. So funny ... I was working on my poem for tomorrow ... if you get the chance pop in an see it ... it's like your comment turned into a poem. Odd synchronicity:)
That seems to happen a lot around these parts! looking forward to it :)
:)
Yay. This is cool. Resteemed of course 😊
So glad you liked it. I think this might be my new favorite way to compose poetry, at least, as a starting point. Thanks so much for turning me onto it:)
This is awesome! I'm glad that others in the community are trying this. Thanks for mentioning me in your post. It is truly appreciated!
Thank you, Japho. I owe you a debt of gratitude. I am so thankful for being turned onto this method of inspiration. It seems now the muses are always at my fingertips:)I have just begun a Friday poetry exchange; I hope perhaps next week you might join us:)
Great idea! Reminds me of a creative method I came up with on my own; do the same thing with songs... you take a line from a song you like... and another line from another song.. poetry emerges - another song - another dance.
Thank you, gzen. I have used that method for short story writing but now for poetry. Love how we can build on each other's creativity. I have just begun a Friday poetry exchange; I hope perhaps next week you might join us:)
