There were vampires

All sorts

Without heads

In a hurry once

Like thoughts

For me to ruin

Haunted

blackout poem, original source Kinney, Jeff. Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Harry N. Abrams, 2007. pg -page 51.

[bleeding-poet]

your life before you regained consciousness?

I peer into nothingness

reaching

for something that should be but isn't

your whole life

somewhere

image starts to form

into focus

details sharpen

I- seem to be standing

struggling to keep

my head

“Good Will Do” A blackout poem.

There are things

Which I have

Always thought

Sacred and belonging

To a forgiving and pleasant time;

When men and women

Open their hearts to people

I believe good will do good

- Crystal Charlotte Lynch

Image description in alt text.

This one goes out to all the men who love men <3 Follow the twisting rainbow from top to bottom!

The perfectly startling state of things!

Two men, the very picture of delight

Full of pride

Bursting

Beyond the power of suppression

I really wanted to give blackout poetry a go (or should I say redout, as I only had a red pen), and really enjoyed it! I accidentally bought two copies of #memoirsofageisha (great book, who wouldn’t) and thought the second one would be great to give this form of poetry a try. Think of all the interesting words there would be! Partner-san and I then discussed this one that I did: Suppose you were to say the truth is a kind of perfume. He said, “But perfume can wear off over time.” But can’t the effects of truth, in a way? We all find ourselves missing or forgetting important truths in life. Then he said, “But not everyone likes all perfumes.” I looked at him and his face widened as if something had dawned upon him. I said, “But not all people can like or accept different truths, either.” So, mission accomplished. My first “redout” poem sparked conversation, and isn’t that what art and creativity is about? Time to find the next page in my spare copy of Memoirs of a Geisha for the next #blackoutpoem. 🤓⛩ #blackoutpoetry #poetry #poem #poemoftheday #writing #writingcommunity #authorlife #writersofinstagram #writerslife #creativity #becreative #bookstagram #booklover #secondhandbookshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/CV3fiyYBmV5/?utm_medium=tumblr

made a blackout poem from pg.220 of “on the road” by Jack Kerouac

[caraarmstrong]

Rousing night, allowing little light—

 Hands travel faster than thought,

commanders of time.

 Losing desires some compass,

order writ in water--

 Hands lightly pulse, up or down,

reach latitude, longitude; salt creeps up legs.

 The spine’s a keel

that leaves no masthead cry.

I was about to rip up this page from The Two Towers to use for a background when suddenly, eerily, a blackout poem jumped out at me.

Your news is all of woe, dismay, harm. All spoke his praise. More of this grief since he was slain, since the evening of that day.

Every morning, get out of bed

That kind of hope

In April

even the year

It's not easy remembering

Black out poem, source -the diary of a wimpy kid.

Love—

The most helpless feeling.

A roller coaster ride of hope and heartache.

Sometimes I naturally read books like back out poetry because my mind is to frantic to focus on more than a word or phrase at a time #poetry #blackoutpoetry #blackoutpoem #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B8eOGSPBj-r/?igshid=nr6xtxfy5v6a

Blackout Poem “The Shoreline”

By Crystal Charlotte Lynch

She rounded

The shoreline

Quiet blue water

With a strength

That was obvious

Happiness must be a worthwhile goal, the primary desire in their own minds. A steady and constant state of unimaginable joy and the fortunate [will] be free.

my personal collection of blackout poetry

[emiliab4005]

Black-Out poem titled “Practiced”

Practiced,

In the arranged life that

Never came down to stray

From the extraordinary.

And, of course,

This life, in constant perfection,

Transformed

Armor-plated, stiff,

Too small, between

Familiar walls,

Cut out and put into

A pretty frame.  

Holding remarkable execution

of itself.  Surrounded by

Controlling, small chains

Communicating

The condemned.
