Literature Text

Lovestruck steps
in the middle of the pavement.

A parting embrace,
shouting farewell...

the end?

Imagine Paris
until you see each other again,
kissing straight,
reunited on the platform.

Silent messages,
No word or gesture
provides equality.

Open ambiguity
pride
and friendly combat.
My second attempt at found poetry using the erasure method. This time was harder than the first one, considering I used a news article instead of a literary text like the first one.

This is an interesting work. Found poetry can be hard to do, but you pull it off well here. You give a clear idea of what was going on, and convey well. Nothing specific to work on, just more practice makes better as always. You are already pretty good. :)
So, this was definitely different then what I am used to seeing, and I enjoyed it.
