Description:

The first two rounds went well, so here is another! In this swap, you will send your partner one Blackout poem that you have created.

What is a Blackout poem you ask? Here is the basic idea of what you do to create one: you take any piece of literature (book page, newspaper clipping, page from a magazine, etc.) and then you go through and underline the words you want to create a phrase or a sentence or two. Draw boxes around those words, and then with a Sharpie or other marker you color on them so you can only read the words you want. NOTE: The "poem" isn't usually the actual length of a poem, but a few sentences at most.

If you're still unsure of what to do, search #blackoutpoetry on Instagram or Pinterest, do a Google image search or go to http://www.makeblackoutpoetry.com/

No excessive 1s or 3s, I DO CHECK! As Swap Coordinator, I reserve the right to ban anyone that I find suspicious or that I believe may not follow through on their obligations for the swap. Happy Swapping!

I found a BO poetry bookmark I made, could that be swapped in this swap?

laurelrachh87 11/ 1/2014 #

@fawnscrafts did you make the blackout poem yourself? Like the bookmark had words on it and then you did it?

fawnscrafts 11/ 1/2014 #

yes.

I did the book page, blacked out then made a book mark.

I am sorry for repeated posts. I will think about the next swap. it's too late for you to reply and let me know on this one.

@fawnscrafts okay, sorry about that.
