Description:

Image borrowed from Faun00's swap series; I have taken over this swap from her.

For this swap, photocopy a page from your favorite book (or you may use an actual book page if you like). Black out all but a few words creating a poem from the words. You may add embellishments, or draw/doodle on the page in between the blackouts, but it IS NOT NECESSARY. :)

Use of books printed in languages other than English is acceptable. Please write an English translation upon the page containing the written poem.

THIS GETS MISSED A LOT: Your info will NOT be on the back of this page... You will put at least your final poetry words, name, date, and location (i.e. city, state, country, as it's always nice to see where your swaps came from) on a separate paper to be put into your partner's journal on a facing page.

You will have 2 partners and will send a different photocopied blackout poem to each of them (you can always send more if you feel inspired). Pages should be no larger than composition book size (apprx 7.5 inches x 9.5 inches). You can decorate if you wish, but it is not a requirement.

Use your imagination and have fun! Send something you would like to receive.

We will NOT actually mail journals around, but we will decorate our own journals to paste our received poetry into. Please use a book that is at least composition notebook size, as that should be about the right size for any of the swaps you get.

This is a repeating swap, and I will host at least once a month as long as there is interest.

A rating of 4.8 or above please to participate in this swap. I will not tolerate flakers and late sends; will angel if necessary. Responsible newbies with well-filled profiles are welcome.

Can we print out pages from either a scan of a book or an online book, or must it be a photocopier itself to get that look that photocopiers have, if its not torn directly from a book?

I would like to join this swap, but am new to Swap Bot. Is my profile filled out enough to join? Please let me know.

@viscid - a printout from any printer is fine. I realize most people do not have access to an old fashioned copy machine. ;) @artistshu - I would have allowed you to join but since you did not join I must assign partners now. :/ feel free to join the next round!
