Found Poetry

Your task is to creat a “found poem.” A found poem is an unintentional poem discovered in a nonpoetic context, such as a conversation, news story, or advertisement. Found poems serve as reminders that everyday language often contains wht can be considered poetry, or that poetry is definable as any text read as a poem. You should use the following websites to collect a list of words and phrases to create your found poem. You will be responsible for creating a poster that is visually appealing and creative on which your poem will be displayed. Poems should be 10-15 lines long.
