Today I decided to write a blackout poem. In blackout poetry, you select a page from a book, magazine, or newspaper article (a page from anything) and black out words you don't want to use. The remaining words on the page become your blackout poem. Usually I glance over the page and underline or circle the words I want to use before blacking everything else out. I chose page 139 of the book Mistress of All Evil by Serena Valentino.
After I blacked out text, this is what my page looked like.
Fear
By Candace Shultz
Shaking leaves cascade out of the darkness.
Face that fear. Grab fear. Crush it.
Place the Light where you are.
You have the face of a queen.
