Ever wonder if there is another way to create poetry? Why not try your hand at Blackout Poetry?
What exactly is it? It is when you take a written piece of text and cover (black-out) selected words, in order to come up with your very own poetry!
Which words should you ‘censor’? Well, It’s entirely up to you. Just think of the message and reaction that you want readers to have. Then play around with the choice of words available and voila — A Masterpiece!
It's really quite fun and addictive once you get the hang of it. Just check out the samples below and then try creating yours!
