BLACKOUT POETRY is a form of word art where the poet uses an already established text and creates a new work by blacking out words till a poem is formed. Generally the subject of the original work has no connection to the subject of the poem. It is a challenging way to use your creative intuition. Give it a try and you will be amazed at what you can draw out of the words. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy creating it.
There has been a child found,
one that is close to stone.
Find an ark to the city south,
the men give allegiance swore
to you and your quarrel.
A quarrel should prove loyalty,
a cause to this lot,
the way of it will never bend;
though less was the will of people.
Bend to no man, hold to no friends,
and cheer young in golden temples.
Head long, spill out a black sword
and chain a loop round to carry.
