This was a ‘magnetic poetry’ demo created on the overhead projector with a handful of random words cut  from other works.  It was a model exercise for my English class back last March. It’s an example of playing with words and juxtaposition.  Meaning is abstract.

Like my heart’s guess
the music was spread
and thought thrilled
T’was words that
     crawled              cried
screamed        turned
               blazed
and came away
             blind.
