"News print poetry", a form of "found poetry" or "blackout poetry." I took one story from the Orlando Sentinel newspaper each day and transformed it into a poem by creatively selecting words from the story. The words are kept in their original order and no words were added. The 2012 project is completed, but I add new poems from time to time.
I commented on my progress, and about writing in general, on a companion blog: http://newsprintpoetry.blogspot.com.

Roping— A

The book is coming out the end
of April with a collection of 101 of the 2012 first quarter poems. I'm taking
down the posts, but I'll leave the first stanza of each poem.
