After reading @Ken Merchant fantastic article on The Cove blog I thought it might be fun to share any blackout / silhouette poetry we have done. I played around with it a few months back so here is one of my favourites. It uses a page from Close Encounters Of The Third Kind by Spielberg.
I had a couple of attempts recently! The first one I did was a bit hit and miss but I'll include it anyway:
We emerge from the celebration,
Kind and pretty
I'm the wind and the habit
No reason for glitter in a bazaar of every bold colour
Gold flashing like Harrods on Christmas night
My passion neutral, natural and tied.
I like my second one a bit more:
I hand-wrote this one:
Thanks a million for the suggestion, @Marc Brimble I found it challenging, but it was a lot of fun!
👌👌👌À point
You have a talent for this Marc!

That is impressive, both as text and the fact you could see this poem amidst text written for another purpose.
I receive an email from your website loved and laughed at your haiku to pigeons
Far out, this is pretty amazing! I'd like to try this now. I haven't read Ken's article yet but I'll get to it tonight. I might also post a blackout poem one time.
