Description Inspired by the AMAZING works of

I give her the credit for the idea for this piece. I'm not smart enough to come up with the idea of defacing old books in the name of poetry xD.

The poem is mine, though. Made from a page out of an old Intro to Psychology book our school library was throwing out. Thank goodness my art teacher saved it.

Here's the full text of my poem in case you get confused. Just read the highlighted words:

hypothesis and flexibility
attempting to solve this problem concerning failed words
you formed an improper possibility

eventually a man may begin to have dizzy spells
his personal limits wrong his heart

for the first time at arm's length,
his dizziness comes a more distant object

there must be something wrong with his heart
and after substitution is made,
his dizziness disappears.

Wow, this is stunning. I've never been big on poetry but finding this, and the context of "found poetry" which I had never heard of before.... this poem actually made me cry. It's beautiful.

It made you cry? D:
Wow.
I'm very honored you think so highly of my work.

It takes a special person to move beyond simply reading poetry and actually learning to /feel/ it. Congratulations

this is really artistic. Decoding a poem from a given text... that's beautiful mind - like

Thank you very much.
It's really fun. It's like a treasure hunt; a much more literal manifestation of my overall mission to find beauty and poetry in the everyday things all around me. You should try it sometime

I shall try it out, but I might keep it for myself only - I don't get a good feedback (if any feedback) on my literary pieces or poetry. I've also tried to write a short story in English, but I've got no feedback, so I don't even know what (bad) it's like for natives...
And, as for your mission - it's wonderful, highly romantic, I'd say. The only problem with today's world is that men romantics do not have place here...and they can keep their stuff only for themselves, 'cos rarely does somebody understand it.
Anyway, thank you for a tip

No problem.

And the world will always need romantics; without us, the world becomes a self-defeating metaphor for all the things that are wrong with humanity. You can live a thousand years by being logical and realistic, but without romance, you wouldn't have anything to live for--it would be a painful, pointless existence. Who wants to keep breathing just to keep breathing?

Found poetry doesn't belong to me. It belongs to everyone. Thank you for all of the love. You are fantastic.
