Another Found Poem II

Of the three found poems I've created so far, I liked the one from the Sunday comics best, so I tried again this Sunday. However, this Sunday's comics were not a great source of interesting phrases, so I added some headlines from the sports section. 

Acting in Total Darkness


A poem by Judy Todd, found in comics section and sports section of 9/27/20 L.A. Times


Hail, kings of the west

Who grasp the vast scope

Of what’s happening

You’ve seen the light

Taken over and led

Shunned the paper clip

Like some stressed text

What is the price of victory?


It’s autumn

Think of possibilities

Nothing old and obsolete

Be daring, try new visions

A player on the stage

Be part of something fantastic 

You’ve flipped a coin before

Is the election over yet?


All this quarantine

A true dark moment

Theoretical visitors

In a roaming place

Not where they belong

Fake stories of turmoil

Luck plays a big role

How did it come to this?

How do I leave?
