Pulitzer Remix Day Two

Using three stanzas of six lines, ten lines, then six lines again; this found poem entitled Femininity is an ode to the definition of womanhood and femininity, or perhaps a discussion from different perspectives.

Pulitzer Remix Day One

1970-The-Collected-Stories-of-Jean-Stafford-FeaturedThe first poem from The Collected Stories of Jean Stafford was sourced from the first section of the Table of Contents. This first poem is entitled Advice to a Young Woman.

This post used 22 words as the pool for source text, with five being the word ‘the’, thus reducing the selection to 18 words. Using homonyms, the resultant found poem provides a bit of advice for someone.
