Found poetry - part 3

I really love these found poetry cards.
The words and phrases are funny, haunting, thoughtful, inspiring...

I've tried both methods of "found poetry" and find I have better luck with selecting words that are imbedded in a single page of text, rather than assembling a poem from a nearly unlimited supply of printed words in my environment.

How about you?  Did you try both techniques?  What was easy/hard about the process?

I enjoyed both ways...I don't think I favor either!

These are so great. I admire poets. It is hard for me to choose from all the beautiful words to arrange a line or many into "poetry." I tried both techniques, and they were both a challenge - but I enjoyed the challenge - Thanks Karen!!

I find that when I dump a big pile of words and phrases on my table that sometimes the "poems" write themselves. This was great fun!
