Not much gas left in the tank of ideas, so today I’m doing an ‘erasure’ poem. This involves taking a random slab of text and erasing words to produce a ‘poem’ from the remaining words.
I’ve used a great web site called “Erasures” to automate the process. The source text is History of the Gatling Gun Detachment by John Henry Parker, and I’ve called the poem “Erasing the Box”

I am in awe at the ideas you come up with.
Thanks Russ. When you have to do it every day, you have to come up with something. This is a fairly token effort, but it’s something
Works well Mike. I love the ‘erasure’ concept and that looks like a good resource to do it. Thanks for the link; I might do one tomorrow or Wednesday. Jen
It’s a great little resource. Given more time and thought, I think I could generate something more meaningful
Ah, but whose poem is this?
John Henry Hopkins’ poem of course. And he’s welcome to it 🙂
Fantastic stuff.
