always the best to listen to.

6. Found Poem
A found poem is a poem made from
news paper/magazines. You would make
a title for example: “diet”. Then you
would find words in the news
paper/magazine that are similar to the
main title and make sentences out of the
words related to the main title. The title
has to also be from a news paper article
or, you can start the poem off with the
title similarities so that people would be
able to guess the subject. It always has a
theme.
These are fun to do, but also challenging
to find the proper words, it might take
some time to finish, but at the end, the
poem sound amazing. This is one of my
favorites, they can express feeling too,
they are like any other poem, but are
related to their subject.
