PAGE 80 11/9/06

A found poem from page 80 of Poets & Writers, Nov/Dec 2006, England's First Master's in Creative Non-Fiction, by Neil Baker.

PAGE 80

Poets, five are selected.
A toxic emphasis creates experience.
Surprize! Faculty say, "Produce!"
"Formula!" "Tastes!" "Models!"
Rankings are silly. Nobody nice
published me. Artistic prestige
isn't a guarantee. Teaching buys
little art. I get it. [I get it.] I do.

sapphoq n friends reminds you that found poems are taken from words on page or pages written by others and thus is not copyrightable to the one who "found" the poem.
