Erasure Poems
Have you ever written erasure poems? They are quite fun. Take an article or prose piece you have read. Now put a line through all the words you want to remove. Check out the words you left behind and see if they create an imaginative piece where it stands on its own or write the words left in your own piece.
When I feel I have no creative thought to write something on my own, I use this technique. It is fun using these words to see how a piece reads when most of it is gone.
You can also take the words left and rearrange them to your liking. I have come up with some very imaginative images this way.
