Blackout Poetry #2 -- Everyone's a Poet Again!

I had so much fun running my first swap, let's do it again! International this time! (Feel free to fold your finished poem so it can mail in a regular envelope and use a basic stamp.)

To create your Blackout Poem, choose a page from a book or newspaper and find a poem in it by "blacking out" all the words that aren't part of your poem until only the poem remains.

For this swap, you may create a classic Blackout Poem using just a black permanent marker, or you may do a more artsy / 'altered book' style and go crazy with colors, paint, washi tape, or other collage elements!

This swap is sender's choice, because sometimes you just have to make amazing art however the spirit moves you. That being said, the point of Swap-Bot is to give and receive thoughtful little surprises, so do your best to make it something your partner will enjoy receiving. Try to brighten their day! (And remember to include a note with the name of the swap and your Swap-Bot ID so your partner can rate you.)

To participate in this swap, you should be an established Swap-Bot member in good standing, or be a newbie with a well-filled-out profile. I'm a newbie myself, and I've struggled to get enough Type 3 swaps to be allowed to join a lot of swaps, so I will not be requiring a minimum number of Type 3 swaps to participate. If you have recent 1 or 3 ratings or a lower than 4.9 rating, you MUST contact me by PM and convince me that you will not flake, or you will not be allowed to participate.

I will angel this swap, my schedule permitting, but obviously I shouldn't have to. Please don't join unless you are committed to following through.
