Revisiting the Lines from Erasure Poetry
Last weekend I spoke at a conference and used erasure poetry. Today I revisit those lines.
Untitled: From Parks' "Flavio's Home"
Mad people grumbling
bad luck
nothing stopped the son-of-a-bitch
* * * * *
Success: From Hasselstrom's "A Peaceful Woman Explains Why She Carries a Gun"
Utter clarity
teaching
exploration
positive steps
confidently practice
dare
well trained
realistic
sure
ready
convincing myself I can use it
capable
believing in me
* * * * *
Untitled: From Chopin's "The Storm"
ripping
not afraid
uneasiness
the approaching storm to fall
a trance
an intention in driving sheets
disheveled
