Blackout Poetry

I recently discovered this artform on Pinterest and it's really cool! Today I decided to give it a try with one of my old books, and here's how it turned out. It certaintly did not turn out like the picture I was using as inspiration, but it's not too bad for a first try.

    One girl’s lanky frame against the dark turf field,

    lit up by fluorescent lights 

    She saunters toward the building 

    holding another girl’s hand

  • Surrender

    The screen stares back at me: 

    9:30 pm, 

    an unfinished assignment, 

    a deadline due. 

    My weary chest heaves a heavy breath.
