Description:

A second round of the first round.

For this swap you will create a poem through the deletion/selection of words, phrases and sentences on an already printed piece of text. To make it clear - you are not cutting and pasting pre-printed words into a sentence, but choosing a block of text and only selecting certain words.

  • You could choose an old book page, a newspaper article, a cereal box... whatever! As long or as short poem as you like.

  • You should think about presenting your poem somewhat like a postcard [eg stuck on to some card to make it stiff, recycling encouraged!] but sent in an envelope to protect it.

  • Two partners, one poem to each. Let it speak for itself or write a note about it to your partner!

Can we include a paper with the poem written out as well, so they can see the way we meant it to be read

@julierachelliz - You can do whatever you like! =D

I like this technique in the sample picture of artfully blacking out the deleted portions to make a design. I've seen this done in whited-out form too.
