Well, technically it’s not an experiment. It’s more of an animated Flash poem. But since I don’t have an area for Flash poems yet, I’m being lazy.

Found poems are pretty fun. I guess it’s the closest thing the poetry world has to sampling. Honestly, I’m not sure how serious I feel about them – to me, they feel like light exercises. Maybe it’s because I haven’t written a found poem yet that I really like.

Finding sources for these types of poems is always fun (I once heard a found poem based off of the Table of Contents from a Norton Anthology). I guess it’s a nice reminder that, if you really want to, you can find poetry anywhere you look.
