Blackout Poetry Contest (Ended)


Description

There are many different names for this style of poetry:
Blackout Poetry
Found Poetry
Erasure Poetry
They are not exactly the same, but they do share a creative destruction element. Take an existing work from a novel, newspaper, textbook, etc., the cover up most of the words. What is left is something new, created by you!
