Just a little blackout poetry, spinning time into gold. Yes, my resolution was to write 1000 words per day so I can finish book #3 this year. But in the front of my mind, I'm blacking out words, and in the back of my mind, I'm wondering if I should skip my current project and go for the idea of book#4. Am I a quitter? Or is it the smart thing to do...write what I want, when I want?
So...here's what the kids and I have been up to: upcycling Dealing with Blue proof pages into blackout poems.
THERE...I SAID IT
by Stacia Leigh
I want more time for you and me.
I...can't do this anymore. The End.
The sacrifices were nothing.
TV CHOICES
by Ooba
Up to Badger Court.
The badger's TV choices were "Put My Foot Down."
CROSSING THE THRESHOLD
by Stacia Leigh
The Boss blew in his face.
"I need a home," he said,
showing his neighbor the open door.
"And you live here."
SUCKS TO BE YOU
by Stacia Leigh
Stella faked her pain
though it was his teeth in the sink
with her spoon.
He missed the round veins.
MAC AND CHEESE
by Beezer
I need mac and cheese and nothing else
I thought it was on sale
so I cleared the shelves
It'll get eaten eventually
For now, mac and cheese.
Just mac and cheese if you need it.
Off the top. Cobbled together a meal of boxed pasta,
mayonnaise, and powdered milk
Laugh and declare, "Amazing."
