Again, thank you to Teach Write Camp Counselors for the various ways to play with poetry. Although I’d previously heard of this as Blackout Poetry with newspapers and sharpies, I tried it out on my phone with news articles, screenshots, and Photo app features to do the same thing. I was originally going to share here the one I practiced in the session, but I read a disturbing article today that made me extremely angry, so I’m using it instead.

Britt,
I told someone this morning how much I love poetry that articulates an argument. Now here you are w/ an example and calling out that evil governor. Good job!

Poetry was not ever part of my personal writing until I landed here at TWT’s many years ago. Since then, it has helped me process the sad, mundane, and happy days. Your poem in sad and profound in its depiction of man’s inhumanity to man.

Britt, you have created a powerful poem – and shared a horrific new chapter in the way we care for others. Sickening! Thank you for bringing this to light for me.

Britt, wow, I am angry, too. Powerful use of that article to express yourself. I wish we could black out his initiative.

Britt, what is happening in the world is unworthy of humanity and you share that in your found poem. Great job! Thanks for sharing that incident with us. Happy poetry writing.
