 Blackout Poetry

It is a new term and also the final term of the year. Every term we change hurumanu. This term we are doing art as one of our hurumanu classes. For the past two days we have been doing blackout poetry. Which is when you have a piece of paper out of a newspaper and make a poem or short story using that,you box the words you want to keep and black out the words you dont want to keep. I made two poems,I had fun but towards the end I got bored. For black out poetry you need a piece of newspaper, A black ballpoint pen, Black vivid. Here are the steps that you need to follow to do blackout poetry.

This was the first story i did and it says: 

A man told his family the fire started before racing uphill. Dark smoke about 5.45pm that day,So told his daughter get the cat and dog and put them into the four wheeled drive. His wife Janine was in queens town at the time but drove back threw the night arriving at 5.30am the next day.

My second story says: When the liar made it into the new episode of death and legal drama.
