In L&L, I created poems that are made out of remixing different things together. I created 6 poems. 1 poem is made out of idioms, 1 poem is made out of song titles, another poem is made out of slogans, the remaining 3 poems are black out poems made from two books.
Idiom Poem
“Happiness”
On cloud nine,
Over the moon,
And on top of the world.
Happy as a flea in a doghouse,
Like a dog with two tails,
And happy as Larry.
Grin from ear to ear,
Walking on air,
A joy to behold.

Song Title Poem
“Friendship”
Real friends,
There for you,
All these years.
Bad liar,
Bad reputation,
Issues,
Consequences,
I have questions.
No more sad songs,
Sorry not sorry,
Something’s gotta give,
New rules.

Slogan Poem
“Because I’m Me”
Beauty outside. Beast inside.
Between love and madness
lies obsession.
I am what I am.
Because life’s complicated enough.
Make the most of now.
Share moments. Share life.
Have it your way.
