Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

I just stumbled onto the concept of found poetry. I'm off to try my hand at it now, and I was wondering if anyone here has ever read or written found poetry before? What do you think of it as a concept?

It was! It was... very difficult to make the poem mean something different than the story I pulled it from, but I think I managed it in the end. I think that's the trickiest part of found poetry, conveying your own meaning.

My piece 'Scatological Philosophy' has elements of found poetry; I just posted the third draft here a few minutes ago.

Oh, I saw that! I've had it open in a tab for ages meaning to comment. I will take this as the kick in the pants to do so.
