Found Poetry Scroll no.1




I'm experimenting with yet another method for presenting the found text poems as objects and will finish this little scroll up properly and have it for sale in my shop in the next day or so.  It's made with cut words sandwiched with bits of teabag on a 2" wide length of Japanese paper adhered with teabags.  The poem came from a children's book from many decades ago that is filled with a variety of stories that include multiple choice vocabulary reviews throughout.  I selected the words from one of these reviews...it creates quite the whimsical poem!  Enjoy!

To investigate is to 
search
depart 
wonder 
run frantically
excited
solemn 
exploring
saunter     backward    forward
scamper    walk     run
climb
stop.
To wallow means
to wail.
Calico is a kind of
mirror.

  1. Great... I like that even more than your poem pages (and I begin to find it quite a pity I rarely ever drink teabag tea...)

  2. So glad you like this scroll! I have made some other scrolls...one is still in my shop and do think they hold all kinds of possibilities. I almost never drink teabag tea either....only when I run out of loose tea, but I have years of accumulation of teabags by now...thanks for commenting here!
