Following on from my last post about gently getting myself back into the swing with Found Poetry, here's my next one, I went through my last complete notebook of my free writing - and chose alphabetical sentences so first sentence beginning with 'A' then moving on until I found one with 'B' and so on so on...
After collating them I tried them as free verse maintaining the grammatical status of each line. It didn't work for me so I have decided on the prose form not editing any words out or in just shaping the grammar to fit. I have put the start of each sentence letter in bold. I had no sentence starting with 'Q' so just added that in as 'Q nothing'. My favourite line that I will take forward into a story is 'definitely using AI as I don't think people have that many insidious words in them.'

Also shouldn't she be in it, biscuits biscuits collate the ideas, definitely using AI as I don't think people have that many insidious words in them. Eat well rest well finish books by bed, go to art galleries again, he needs to get well, I don't have time to be ill. Jeans know I'll be OK when I get there, it's the build up, love to love you baby. Ma's been unwell again and I have agreed to pay a premium for 'one to one' care, note : use examples of people. Off I go, nothing written for 23 days in here Pepper. Q nothing. 'Rootlessness for effortless success,' she said without reserve. 'The person, one character and the disease until everything's emulsified'. Variables in sinister positions, warm bodies, X-rays of milky chopped bones, yes the girl zones of calorific burden.

Time, headspace, exhaustion etc etc, however I have change my life direction considerably, have rested as much as possible (no trust find here!) so gently getting myself back into the swing with Found Poetry, one of my favourite forms of poetry, and will make myself accountable be publishing it here. Instead of holding myself to one a day it's going to be one a week. If more happen so be it but I am incredibly good at setting myself up to fail...

This Is What I Do When People Throw Rocks At Me
Rocks have been thrown at me for a greater part of my life. Some have been small and missed hitting me. When people don't get a reaction from me, they throw bigger rocks with a better aim. Many have been hurled at me with precision over the years. For a long time, I thought my only options were to dodge them or be crushed by them.
