If you don't know, found poetry is where you take a random passage of whatever, and you black out portions to make a poem. We had to do one for school, and here is mine; very vague!




Even America had one helluva time growing older -
It was a tough road south;
Nobody'd be different.
"This is our decision,
to live fast and die young...
Yeah it's overwhelming,
but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and
wake up for the morning commute?

The models will have children,
we'll get a divorce,
find some more models;
everything must run its course!

i did one of these in 6th grade!
"Everybody stares, as she goes by
'Cause they can see the
flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn
, baby,burn,baby"



Life is a banana peel and I am the fool who dared to tread on it.
