Found Poetry Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus imparting new meaning. (Wikipedia)

Theme Poem (Shape Poem) The Plane Tree Two Travellers, walking in the noonday sun, sought the shade of a widespreading tree to rest. As they lay looking up among the pleasant leaves, they saw that it was a Plane Tree. "How useless is the Plane!" said one of them. "It bears no fruit whatever, and only serves to litter the ground with leaves." "Ungrateful creatures!" said a voice from the Plane Tree. "You lie here in my cooling shade, and yet you say I am useless! Thus ungratefully, O Jupiter, do men receive their blessings!" Our best blessings are often the least appreciated.
From Hiding to Found Poetry One of the strongest ways to teach students about how poets and poetry works is to encourage them to write their own poetry. As Dunning and Stafford explain, the advantage of found poems is that you don t start from scratch. All you have to do is find some good language and improve it . Poems hide in things you and others say and write. They lie buried in places where language isn t so self- conscious as real poetry often is. Foundpoetryreview.com
