This was my favorite
writing assignment so far. I felt so creative while I was doing these short
poems that I wanted to just keep making them. I really like the idea of using
someone else’s words to create your own original idea. For me it felt easier to
use words that were already there than to start working with a blank page. The
problem I came to while writing was that I would have an excellent idea (or so
I thought) and just flow with it and then I would go back and realize that it
was difficult to make sense of. Eventually after a few revisions it was making
a little bit more sense. I wasn't really sure if it was only making sense to me
however when I gave it to Sarah she told me it made sense (she could have just
been being nice though). I feel like this would be a good way to write a song,
I say that because lyrics in songs are often fragmented and have a lot of
meaning behind them and I, for one, put a lot of meaning into my newspaper
blackout poetry. I found that the content of the article had nothing to do with
what I was writing about. While it may have helped to have an article that was
written with passion than to have a bland article written with no passion, it didn’t
matter if the article I was using was about politics, musicals, movies or
music. They all came up totally different than what the article was about.
To sum
up, I loved this project. I had difficulty with it because I was going too fast
while I was writing it but once I slowed down and reviewed it, it all came
together.
