That was harder than it looks.
I sat down last night watching reruns of The Closer and Bones and picked up our newspaper to try blackout poetry. I picked the "Arts and Life" section thinking there would be better words. And there were great ones! But it was actually really hard!
Once I got started, then I wanted the poem to go somewhere that I just didn't have a the words for. I had to look at the article and think about how the words would work outside of what my vision was. It was definitely an exercise in thinking outside the box!
So this is my poem: It's hard to see but what it says is -- art this fascinating cultural masterpiece ties the world over the years, to the present
Sounds more like a wise saying than a poem to me (I gravitate towards more traditional poems myself) but it works!
