Remember all those life lines you have been collecting throughout your reading of Of Beetles and Angels?! Well, today they will be put to good use. You will be writing a found poem using the life lines from OBAA.
Broadly speaking, all poetry is "found" somewhere, in something that inspires a writer to want to develop his or her thoughts in verse. Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and observations about life and reframing them by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus creating a new meaning.
As you are creating your found poem, keep in mind that it should connect to one of the themes that was interwoven throughout Mawi's memoir.
