Black Out Poetry

For today’s writing workshop, we did a “black out poetry” warm up. If you aren’t sure what this is, essentially you grab a random page out of a book (that you are okay to ruin), and use the words on the page to create your own poem by redacting the words you do not want! So, I figured for today’s post, I would share mine with you (with a picture of it at the bottom)

NO HELP

no help

she knew
beneath the
muck

safe
ground was



around
She remembered

darkness
She

patiently

struggled

arms and legs
scrambling

exhausted
she re-turned

very tired.
