Rick Daddario is amazing. If you have not visited his site, please do. He writes, he creates, he inspires. Best of all, he encourages. That encouragement led me to try found poem. Rick provided the page, one which he dabbled with on his The Sound of a Cat post.
Below is what I found. If you’d like to give it a try, just contact him in the comments and he’ll send you the page.

I’d love to see it if you do try it. Enjoying your recent posts.
Wiggling with delight. OOO I love this Yousei. And the bleeding hearts too. Hope all the GOOD changes keep on loving you. 🙂
47whitebuffalo,
Howdy ma’am. I do love it when you wiggle just so. 😉 I enjoyed that exercise. If another good page presented itself, I wouldn’t mind erasing it . Good is still happening. May GOOD shower in your neck of the woods as well.
I think that’s amazing! v creative found poem
Luke,
Thanks. 🙂 I enjoyed the process. Rick does great stuff at his place, coming at writing from an artist’s mind.
Awesome job! I have never tried erasure poetry it looks challenging! I know you have been busy but the new prompt is up and you are more than welcome to join =)

Rick,
I purposefully abstained from looking at yours again before attempting my own. Thank goodness for my poor memory. I gravitated toward very different words and images, right? Very, very fun to play. Thank you my inspirational friend.
I’ve done this activity a couple of times; it’s so much fun. I love your poem! Short poems are my faves, as you well know. Your work is always so profound and gorgeous. ~Shawna
Shawna,
Hello Sunshine. 😀 Happy you like the poem. It was fun to play.
I won’t be able to resist. I must give this a try! It’ll be like digging for gems. Thank you, Yousei.
souldipper,
Yay to no resistance! Let me know when you’ve posted. I’ll come visit. 🙂
nice…erasure poetry is fun…and i rather like the page itself as without your guide below my mind found your path but then other paths through the words you selected…such as
dignified in glance
(thoughts…..thoughts….)

brian,
I chuckled reading your comment because I left a similiar comment on Rick’s post, which is exactly what led to my playing. I like yours better, by the way. 😉
I love it.
