@bright onyx i think you might like this if you appreciate erasure poetry

[bright onyx]

huh ik half asleep wait

[chrome egret]

Question--does erasure poetry exclusively live within the confines of it's original birth? E.g. based on "found" work

[frank hornet]

somewhat, it's traditionally done by taking a piece of text from prose, but i prefer this approach.

so it's essentially one sentence repeated over and over, with some things erased to make new phrases

[frank hornet]

@bright onyx in case you're confused lol

[chrome egret]

huh, i really like that as an interesting constraint for the medium

[frank hornet]
