After I wrote about doing "found poetry," Valerie Kamikubo commented: "I know another person who sometimes writes poetry (she calls them 'stolen words') from the first phrases of blogs."
Don't you love that phrase "stolen words"? I thought I might steal those words to describe my own work, but then remembered that I had already used that concept in a poem that I actually wrote all by myself.
Grand theft
They call it Midnight Auto Parts
A blend of larceny and luck
That TV just fell off a truck
Much easier than shopping marts.
Why not try Midnight Poetry?
Pick clever rhymes up off the floor
Hijack somebody’s metaphor
Or steal a stunning simile.
