3023 - Blackout Poetry.
I chose a book off of my bookshelf at school and flipped through it until I found a page with a good layout of words. The book I chose was The Quiltmaker's Gift by Jeff Brumbeau. I made a photocopy of the chosen page, because I didn't want to wreck the book. Then I got to work blacking out words. I started at one school and finished at the next. If I had been thinking, I would have brought the book with so that I could put the text back in the book, allowing the colorful illustrations to show around it. However, I didn't think that far ahead, so I just cut most of the illustrations out.
"When eyes saw the cave, mighty bones shook. No said your needles pillow one before the night."
It may not make a ton of sense, but if you concentrate hard enough, you can make it have a deep and profound meaning. I chose the words, creating a slight zig-zag pattern through the text.
