Create a Found Poem by turning the mundane into something interesting. Re-frame words, phrases, and whole passages found on a page of a book. Loving books as I do, I’d suggest you choose a book found on shelves at a thrift store. If someone didn’t love a book enough to keep it, it’s likely a good one to use for this project. Be creative. You don’t have to block out text like I did. Find a unique way to highlight the text you want as part of your Found Poem.

This found poem reads as follows:
I am talking about
chains of gold
chains all the same
interrupted comfort and calm
to lose us
unity
not seeing without any sense
this is almost incomprehensible
this fabric
It’s so difficult
a need of you.
