Description
no matter where we went.
we
were
like a far away explosion,
like a rocket,
like
a slow-motion picture.
unbelievable
we could
come hurtling down
in the late afternoon sunlight
serene and cool
Favorite blackout poem I've done so far. No lie. I don\'t really post my blackout poetry on here. I've only posted one or two. Maybe I'll start posting more.

I LOVE blackout poetry.. learned about it in my 20th century poetry class.. so many interesting ways of creating verse were explored then.

Blackout poetry is so much fun and a great stress reliever! I volunteer at my old high school and often do a blackout poetry session. I'll have to look up some more historical information on it to share with them next time!

I really must. I cannot picture myself tearing pages out of a book, though. Is it ok, if I copy the page first?

Totally! That's a great, non-destructive way to do it.

Btw: What do you call this kind of art? Do you have a name for it?

I actually grew up with my parents listening to Scorpions. I didn't realize they had a song of the same title though, but I will check it out!

I wasn't sure why this grabbed my attention like it did. I stared at it for maybe 15 minuets. I thought about it and i came to the conclusion that this was a representation of memories. Memories of person or persons. The mind like the page becomes blacked out, the unimportant memories fall away. Only a few lines remain.Β

I'm glad you saw that. It definitely feels like a memory and it's why it's one of my favorite blackout poems I've made.

I really appreciate that you didn't completely black out the background text; it lets us see the genius in what you've done. Incredible work, and congratulations.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it. I tried doing it digitally once but the words completely blacked out doesn't feel quite right.

You're welcome! And it seems like it would be. Looks like it's pretty mentally challenging, too, but like you said, a lot of fun
