Should we pity the poor young pelican?
Red in the face
a balding sequence of ambivalent metaphors
This is a strange fragility.
A comic evanescence
of stocking feet
all laughter and wonder
You hear this alot
no gleaming cup
for the non-technical among us
How come?
It’s all narrative really.
A false swan wedged between
multi-millionaire pretty boys.
I’m having second thoughts…
They have declared war
on sexual ardor.
It is a very simple game.
Such violence is tribal
With so much ugliness,
when will you ever get a chance
to do something personal?
We’re not going to the moon now.
I am a child again,
the roots of plain function
Gather me into the sunlit gyre of pelicans.

This is an example of a "found" poem. To write this poem, I took sentences, fragments, and individual words from a June 2006 National Geographic magazine. The resulting collage became my poem. It is fun because you have to fit seemingly disparate sentences into something cohesive. As a result, the nonsensical begins to take on a variety of meanings.
There are four others in my gallery [link] [link] [link] [link] Daily DeviationGiven 2008-07-29If you think there is no poetry in non-fiction, try reading some of *Laurence55's "found" poetry, in which he creates magic out of magazine articles. Skin Deep is an excellent example. (Suggested by `WineWriter and Featured by `lovetodeviate) |
