Erasure Poetry

Erasure Poetry: Finding Poems From Existing Words 
Found poetry is a poem that takes an original piece of text and changes it in some poetic way. Erasure is a type of found poetry that blocks out some of the original words to make the remaining words into a poem. Explore different ways poets have discovered to remake meaning out of existing texts and then create some of your own.
