Blackout Poetry - We Are Ugly

I created another blackout poem from a newspaper article. I chose the newspaper Kaiserslautern American again. The article "Bad behavior is good entertainment at Hilltop" appeared on page 19 on March 15, 2013.


We Are Ugly
By Candace Shultz

with civilized manners

begin nicely
and go downhill 
with accusations, tears, 
and bad behavior.

Their masks 
are ripped away.

Just how ugly can we be?
