In preparation of our memoir, we were asked to create at least two poems that had been created by past blog posts. Found poetry is seemingly difficult at first, but once you’ve begun, it becomes easier and easier. There are four main styles of found poetry, but I personally have taken the approach of free-form excerpting and remixing, which is where you look throughout multiple excerpts and choose specific words and phrases, then order them in any way you choose to create a poem that makes sense.
For this blog post, I have chosen to use the first three blog posts required for the class. Why I Write My Writing Process My Writer’s Round Table I can write I write for me I think to myself I look back I concentrate I think far ahead I decided I never thought twice I had written A choice of wording a few minutes my thoughts and knowledge it felt empowering an entire page filled hanging onto every word a sense of accomplishment more extravagant I have always been a writer

I enjoyed reading this post. I agree that you are a writer. I wonder if links to the blog posts and to the found poetry website would make this post more dynamic...

Whoops, I forgot to add links after switching from Google docs to Weebly editor. Google docs doesn't let you switch tabs when selecting links, so I have to fix that when I bring my writing over. I have put in all of the links now.
