A found poem is a set of words you find somewhere, not originally intended as a poem, but in which you see or ‘find’ the poem that hides there. With the non-erasure kind, the words will be close together, the poem discoverable in the particular sequence.

Green Orange and Black

a bright moon shines -

douens heel towards the kapok

there to dance

NOTE

Douens in Trinidad and Tobago folklore, are the souls of children who have died before they were baptised. These souls have feet turned backward. And are known to gather and dance beneath The Silk Cotton (Kapok) trees
