Black-out poetry challenge

I know. Two back to back poetry challenges. Funny thing is, I don't really love poetry. But black out poetry is pretty awesome as is spine poetry so this is just going to be the way it is.

Anyway, back to black out poetry. Basically the premise is simple. Take a newspaper or magazine article or whatever you don't mind defacing that has a bunch of words (but please don't deface books.)

Cross out the words that you don't want to keep words that can make up a poem.

Here's another example if you would like to go artistic with it:

Write a black out poem about the book you are reading (or just write a black out poem. Whatever.)
