30 Poems in 30 Days: April 18

Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus imparting new meaning.  Today's poem is a found poem of our own making. The words and phrases have all been taken from The Library of Congress's Web Guide for finding a poem.
