3 July: A Found Poem Cut Up: Summer

Written for #Poeticformschallenge A Found Poem: Cut Up

Summer’s

to dance, to weave through
branches brushed of silk,

colonnade of old cuts
in the air, like a breeze that

leaves delicate sound, that
ebbs and flows to my heartbeat,

a touch of soft high-pitched
breeze.


Note: I think I prefer this version to the original. I’ve done a lot of found poetry over the years, and always enjoyed it. Found Poem: straight cut-up involves cutting words of a complete text and randomly rearranging them into a new text.

  1. When you rearrange poetry, you are a different person from when you wrote the original … hence you have become a “new” original on the way to becoming a better version of yourself. https://rolandyeomans.blogspot.com/2023/07/of-all-streets-that-blur-into-sunset.html
