Wayside wings
Beating in full bellow,
Trembling…
In the unquiet deep summer.
His local heavens…
silver shadows
Stretched out
Curious,
Emerging from the moonlight,
A silhouette,
A pool of light.

First: Any ideas for a real title?
Second: Yes, this is a found poem, taken from a passage in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (a brilliant book, by the way). I, personally, do not consider found poetry to be a true art----these are Fitzgerald's words, I simply rearranged them. But, I suppose, it does have its merits, and it was one of the assignments for my portfolio. I was satisfied with the outcome---it is supposed to be describing a bird, and considering that there were no avians mentioned in the entire passage, I was fairly pleased with my resourcefulness. :)

Very cool! I like how you searched around for bird-like phrases in the book, and it works! Wish I could come up with a title, though...

You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm

you're welcome. I'll tell you when I come up with something.



PS: Is your avatar of a strange Pokemon, as well??? Mine looks like that randomly, and I hope it's just some stupid April Fool's joke.

Thanks! I loved "Gatsby", so I really wanted to do a decent job with the found poem.
