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?
