A friend of mine asked me if I wanted to try this thing called blackout poetry. Basically you get an article, newspaper or journal etc, then take a black marker and delete any word you don't like. In the process you are trying to create a poem, so keep that in mind as you begin to black things out. This was so much fun. We did it while having lunch together, that is how little time it took. Then after eating we read each other what we ended up with. Since we were working from the same article it was fun to hear how different each other's poems turned out. I will definitely have to do this again, because it is nice to infuse a bit of poetry and creativity in an otherwise boring day.
Here is what mine looked like...further down this page is the typed out poem of what I was left with.
Poem:
You're my knight in shining armpit
anyone often gets things
wrong
sometimes hilariously
liven up our interactions
mimic this inadvertent humour
ripe for automation
simple and unintentional puns
it would just be tiresome,
occasionally interjecting at random intervals
sex
unlock more ways to make us laugh
