Found poem draft for the story Bluffing in Imprints book.
Base your poem on one of the themes:
fear, selfishness, deceit, obsession, desire, impulse, sacrifice, haughtiness, blame, foolishness, lies,
FOUND POEM for “Bluffing”
Introduction
One of the ways to understand the tone or mood of a piece of literature is to use words from the literature to create an original poem. To create a Found Poem, readers select and combine memorable words and phrases from a text to create or "find" a poem. The reader also attains a stronger sense of the value of words in creating a mood in a story.
Objectives
By completing this assignment, you will:
* recognize the importance of tone, mood, and imagery in “Bluffing”
* combine words used in the story “Bluffing” to synthesize them into your own poem.
* you might want to focus on the bear, the relationship between the two characters, the inner thoughts of one of the characters, or a description … you can choose any aspect you like. You can even move away from the story itself and create an original poem that is related to the theme but not a retelling of the events.
* demonstrate through your poem your understanding of a central theme of the story and your ability to use literary devices such as metaphor, simile, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, repetition
Procedure
To create a Found Poem:
* Decide what focus you want for the poem
* Select words and phrases from the story. You can underline them with a pencil. The words relate to your focus. Write them down on a piece of paper or type them so that you can move them around
* Combine the words and phrases you have written into poetic form (lines and stanzas).
* Reduce these lines, if necessary, to create a more concise and focused poem.
* You cannot add words to your poem that are not in the original story, but you may remove words and change the original context of the words to create your poem.
* You may repeat key words and phrases for emphasis.
