KotO[REvan] Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Today I finished one of my first found poems, and I thought that I would share it with all of you. For those who do not know what a found poem is: it is when you take of words and such from other existing poems to create a new one. The four poems I've used for mine were "Being Old" by an unknown author, "Elena" by Pat Mora, "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes, and "My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke. YOUTH As old as you are You do not understand. The jokes And the songs And the laugher of little ones are deaf to you. We, being young, are reaching for the stars, But the splinters of the old Turn our light into dark. The steps we take to touching the stars Are on the crystal stair; “Hard” is not the word. Our skyscrapers will not tumble Or be forgotten, But they will be forever. They are forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadYorick Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The poem was good but maybe you should put it in the outer rim territories since this doesn't have any star wars in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
