Blackout Poetry

Blackout or negative poetry is a form of poetry in which few words are selected from an existing text and highlighting them in comparison to other words in order to create meaningful lines. Interesting connections can be formed between words that were previously not linked to each other or were structured to mean something different. Often such poetry is created using pages from old fiction novels for its colourful vocabulary. Here is an attempt at creating not a poem but a meaningful line from a newspaper where the choice of words in a single article is slightly repetitive.

A home,

A den of protection,

Semblance of care. 

Trauma and fear,

With a sense of shame. 

Mental turbulence of,

Entering a crucial stage.
