Black-out Poetry

Hi guys!

Welcome to my third blog :D

This day we made an activity wherein our professor divided the group into two groups. The first group will be given a magazine which they will cut the images of a person to be used in making comics. The activity was called "speech bubble story."

 The second group will be given a news article wherein they will use the words written on the newspaper to create a poem. This activity called "Black-out-poetry."

I belonged to the Second group. On my own perspective creating a poem is a little bit harder than the first group. But I took the challenge because it is very rare that I make poems.

It took me almost 3 hours to finish the activity, not fast because I am not really creative in writing but I can, so I stretched myself and give it  a try.

And this was the result.  I hope appreciate your time to read the poem I made :D

Women = sex(cross out the word "sex") Dignity and Power

Women = sex

Equation of powerful men

Unaware of his off-color jokes

Left scars who hear his jokes

Why would he change his ways?

When women continue to laugh at his ways?

Women seems to be unaware

Women = power is his nightmare

Women don't know if it's just a pose

Or maybe that's his game to expose

Until we become inured to insults

End up accepting hiss posts

How pathetic to sale pitch

Women's bodies used on his pitch

Continually be shamed from his gaffe

Not keeping their peace and accepting his gaffe

Men cannot stand women who ooze power

Men cannot represent women the latest example

Alongside men, women have fought

Domestic and Foreign Tyranny have been toppled

Every women from all walks have power

Men cannot deny us these power

Men have taken down from his abusive behavior

Hence, Women = Sex (crossed out) Dignity and Power.

By the way the 1st picture below is the news article that I've got from my professor. The "before."

This next picture below is the "after." Yuu will notice that we crossed out with a black marker the words that we did not use

Finally the picture of the written poem that I've made written in a piece of white bond paper. See the picture below:
