In setting our challenges for this year, we decided that we would take time to revisit poems we wrote in previous outings. I spent way too much time looking back through old posts! Seriously, this monthly adventure has generated a lot of writing. I finally settled on our
September 2015 challenge in which we wrote found poems. I experimented with blackout poems and shared a few I strung together to into a story of sorts. When I looked back through my poetry notebook, I found an unfinished and abandoned poem from this prompt and decided it would be my focus for this month. The first thing I did was change it from a blackout poem to "white out" poem. This seems a bit easier on the eyes to me. I also played around a bit with the words I chose to include, changing the theme of the poem.
I found this interesting because my original post included a poem created from a recipe by Jamie Oliver. This "lost" poem was created from the
August 29, 2002 blog entry from The Julie/Julia Project.
Here's my updated poem. You'll probably need to click on the image to see/read it.
