Nearest Book: Found Poem

Here is a great way to make Found Poems. Found Poems take authentic pieces of literature, find great words, and arrange them together to make a poem. A Found Poem. This is our twist!
On Facebook, I was send a Nearest Book Challenge from my friend, Sean Murphy.
1. Find the nearest book
2. Turn to Page 56
3. Write down the 5th sentence in the book.

Our class then went through the list and created Found Poems. You can find their poetry under the comments on this page!

A golden glow shines beyond the light over a hill. But Under you. There is another glow. But it is not golden. It is darkness. It is the devils eyes. And if you want to see him. (Do what you need to do)

Love this exercise! What fun to see all these poets play with words and phrases. There are some really strong emotions and moods here. Very ominous, in many cases!
