For class we were told to create a found word poem. A found word poem is when you go through a book and pick out random sentences and then rearrange them into a poem. I was at my roommate's house when I was doing this assignment and chose to use The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Here's what I came up with!
The sunset was too beautiful.
The bay was so perfectly blue.
The wind blew her hair forward.
He sat down next to her.
Her heart started beating faster.
There was nothing self-conscious or worried in his face.
She’d never trusted a boy to like her for something other than how she looked
She judged without reason
Motions were no longer connected to thoughts
She felt the excitement rising in her veins
She put her two hands on his chest.
Obviously she had an idea.
He held her tightly for just long enough.
When he pulled away his eyes were full
The look on his face made her want to stay there
She wished it, but she didn’t expect it would happen
Some people go out of their way to run into their crushes
Suddenly she realized how it looked
He came closer to her and put his arm around her shoulders.
Was his voice more tender now?
He still held her arms but more gently now.
She smiled, both inside and out
He’d met a woman he had loved enough to marry
And soon she would realize it as well.
