Here’s a found poem using Unending Devotion by Jody Hedlund and Peaches For Monsieur le Cure by Joanne Harris. (both awesome reads)
The edge in the man’s eyes was sharp enough to cut through the hardest of wood.
I needed a woman to handle this.
Above the scarlet scarf Maggie’s eyes flitted with uncertainty.
A ribbon of music – perhaps a flute – floats above Les Maraud.
Crouching low, Lily sidled along the building.
A kind of sigh came from the crowd as Karim’s right arm blossomed in flame.
Connell’s gaze snapped to Stuart and riveted there.
The room was silent except for the melting snow dripping down the chimney and sizzling in the smouldering fire.
Catherine Johnson, Jody and Joanne 
Speaking of Jody, guess what I’ll be giving away soon! Watch this space! :0)

Awesome stuff. xx
Thank you, David. It will be a good few years before I could whip words up like this by myself.
What fun! I haven’t thought about Found Poems since my kids did a unit in their literary co-op (we homeschool). I should have them play with this form again.
Happy weekend!
Yes, do it with them. Use anything.
Just lovely, Catherine!
Thanks, Erik and Tracy!
It’s incredible how you make it work. Brava!
Great poem. I can see the stare. Love it.
“A ribbon of music.” I like that part especially!
Thanks ladies!
Oh this is a great idea. I should start collecting some of my favorite lines from books as a juicy line collage.
