WRITING REFLECTION 8


The past week was actually really fun besides the constant headaches I had frokm the sharpie fumes. Blackout poetry is possibly one of the easiest things to accomplish yet very hard. You could easily circle random words that fit together to complete a poem, but when it comes to actually making the words mean something, that’s the challenge. I found myself circling words I wanted to be in my poem but I could never figure out a way for them to work. My theme for my trio ended up being food.  The way I made them, could have a different meaning to anyone.
Compared to the previous writing assignments we’ve done, this one stands out for being different because you are basically working backwards which makes it a lot harder when you’re trying to make something out of a limited amount of words.
I found myself really struggling to make something of this type of writing, I felt like I'm no where creative enough to have my poems make sense, but I did my best. Maybe Austin Kleon would understand.
