Warning: I am not an artist and I am not a poet!
But I like doing artsy things and I love books! I have been seeing tons of blackout poetry examples on Pinterest and they look really cool! So I decided to give it a try!
I am pretty proud of the results!!! Here are the close ups:
This is my overall favorite!
This was the first one I tried:
This one is my favorite poem
This one was a close second for my favorite!
The book I took the pages from was about war, so that is why a lot of my poems ended up being darker. The words I had to choose from weren’t particularly happy.
What do you think of my Blackout Poetry? Which is your favorite? Have you tried it before?
Perfectly Tolerable 
This is very interesting. I had never heard of blackout poetry before.

They’re great – I love the way you’ve filled the pages. I have heard of this before on another blog I follow – it’s really simple and yet effective. I like the idea of finding something, a tiny story, hidden within the pages of another story.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making them 🙂 And it was cool because the tone of the poem ended up being the same as the tone of the page. So it was like a little story inside the bigger one!
