What Is Found Poetry?

Found Poetry is poetry which is formed by taking the words from a pre-existent source, such as a book or newspaper. You could take some of the words, mix them up, or just scribble out all but the words you want to use. A lot of people in this group make their pieces of found poetry very aesthetically pleasing too, but found poetry exists in many forms.

More importantly, it's fun. So try it :)

SUBMISSIONS/FAVES/JOINING/BLOGGING
Howdy fellow Foundarters!

Here is how things stand on the admin front:


  • Submissions:
    Members' submissions are always put to vote. Each piece only needs one vote to go through. Basically, this is just to ensure that no non-Found pieces get through.

  • Join Requests: Anybody can send out a join request, which is subject to democratic vote.


  • Blogs: Anybody can submit to blog, which goes to the vote.



Thank you, and keep submitting/faving/enjoying your time here at #DailyPoetics!

Much love all round,
Luis.

Well hello all. Just a quick one...

Our new affiliate is :iconthetitlepage: and it's a lovely idea. =SilverInkblot has said it's a love letter to Found Poetry, so that can't be a bad thing. For the uninitiated, they host a competition in which you compose a poem based solely on the titles of deviations found around deviantArt. It's a lovely idea, as it also helps spread the love a little to those whose titles are included.

Also, I'm going to briefly bow my head to an America-centric view of cultural affairs, and say: as it's National Poetry Month for those of you across the Atlantic, I have set aside a Premium membership subscription to be gifted to the best entry of April 2013. If you're already a Premium member, and you win, it can be held for when yours has run its course, etc.

Much love, etc.

xxx, etc.

grawlixpoetry.blogspot.com is alive and well! We've been stickering your poetry up around the metro for like four months and it seems the community is eating it up. July's running light on submissions so throw us what you have for our all-in-air-conditioning July issue! Cheers!

Did you just pretend that you've included some of our group's poetry so that we'd look at the site? Or, more likely, this is a generic message copied and pasted to many groups while written to sound personal.

No thanks, but good luck

Um. No, just a generic call for subs, the "you" just being the artistic community. No need to thank me.

Hey everybody, I am thinking about starting a facebook page for black-out/cut-up/found poetry. Before I do, is this the kind of thing people would be interested in being part of???

Let me know and I will get on it!
