One of things I hoped to do during Project
365 plus 1 was make erasure poems. I’ve made one or two here and there but I
was attracted to the idea of doing a bunch of them. Maybe a take on news of the
day, every day, for a while. It was almost the end of November before I got to
it, and I’ve only made eleven. I didn’t think they’d be a breeze but they
proved harder to ‘find’ than I expected. I call most of them ‘highlight poems.’
These were made on-screen beginning with highlighting in yellow what I
wanted to keep and then highlighting in black (very effective) the text I
wanted to erase. I love the black, yellow and white especially once I spaced
the lines. They remind me of Charmion Von Wiegand or Piet Mondrian’s
'Composition' paintings.
Here’s the latest.
