Found poetry is an innovative art form that transforms everyday language into poetry. By selecting words, phrases, and passages from various sources and rearranging them, you can create original poems that reflect new meanings and emotions. In this hands-on activity, listen intently to your surroundings for 20 minutes, noting everything you hear. After sharing your observations, collaborate with your group to craft a poem, selecting the best lines you captured. Whether you choose to treat or retain the original meaning, your final creation will reflect a unique perspective on the world around you.
