Today’s post features a poem I created this morning via the erasure technique. I didn’t go in with an idea for a poem, and randomly chose this book and this page.
Given the state of the US at the moment, it seems highly relevant.
My transcript below takes some liberties with lines and I’ve added punctuation, but all the words are original to the text.
The Old Fox Deceiv’d
They gave her anything she wanted to make up for the loss
Nothing she did disintegrated
perhaps, “I take it you did not care much”
The Opportunity lit the lowly room, consorting with The Other,
“Shouldn’t you be pertinent?”
It had been the question in your room
I dislike these parties. I am antisocial
Doors opened, beckoned
icy air edged the sea
the waves sucking The House
My path connects up with these steps, joins up with The Seawall
The easiest way to come around
