first found poem.

walking home today and thinking about the assignment we were told about in class to write about i found object. i looked at this guy and his dog playing in the quad and thought about all the things that are done in the grass. of course it hasn't really been worked through or edited yet.

Blades.

Unappreciated
stepped on,
kicked,
plucked,
crushed,
thrown,
torn apart,
tended to loved,
cut trimmed
down.
Kids roll down the hills in the summer.
Couples falling in love during picnic dinners on the square of grass.

  1. I think this is a very interesting topic to write on. I love the title. I think expanding the lines would help the poem and enrich it with even more detail.

  2. Yeah, I like how quickly I'm pulled down through it, and I think some of the words you chose were great, but I suggest expanding it more. Think of new ways to explain what happens to it, and incorporate the words and phrases above, too.
