Blackout Poetry (Friday Night Poetry Corner #202)
Greetings everyone and welcome to a delayed Friday Night Poetry Corner. This week is a unique form of poetry by Mireya Pizano called “Our Hell is a Good Life.” Please take the time to read this and visit her blog while you are at it.
Blackout poetry is a form of poetry where you get a page from a novel and you make a poem by using a marker to blackout words/phrases you don’t want to use. The end result shows your poem.

a strange little drama, on the sidewalk,
trotted to and fro
woes and triumphs
I shivered against a blazing Winter
