My Collage Poetry Pinterest Page

I started a Pinterest page dedicated to collage poetry.  Much of it is my work, but I added some other people's work as well.  If you do any collage poetry and would like to post it there I'd be honored.

Revivify Life

the text

the most challenging ambition

is to revivify past experience

Let's get to the heart of the matter:

We know the importance of loafing

lies in how we measure ourselves.

                      Life

              is either useful

              or destructive.

          Spot the difference.

    Feel peaceful in a heartbeat.

                 Each morning

the day lies like a fresh shirt on our bed.

                    Enjoy.

Easy Doubt

the text



                All
                things
                considered
If God is listening hard enough
why do dogs die
             in hot cars?
When all the bodies
have been buried in Darfur,
blood splattering everywhere,
can you believe?   I don'teven
                              want to know.

       God can't
be captured
for certain and discord
      has nver
      been easier.

The Art Of Living

the text

The Art

          of Living

can be puzzling.

Let's shed some lifht on life.

Control is an illusion.

Beware:  you can't

                take charge of your

extraordinary out of

                 control life.

You have had to del with heartache.

We shoud have

been more skeptical

                                      What're you

                                       gonna do?

            It has

become increasingly

clear that imperfeftion is what makes us human/

Let's get practical:  We live with what

        happens to us

We jump

       between the dim &

        the dark.

                 We live with open

        wounds.

Live Big

the text

It's morning

       Daylight

              again.  I'm wide awake.

I was ready for anything but

      what I found

      Life's good

and  the good is in the details.

Yep, it's a sweet surprise.

      I never thought

      it could happen

             to me.

Live

Big       ---this is in-

                 credible---

             It takes time

                 to be a

                phoenix.

THE GOOD LIFE

THE TEXT

THE GOOD

LIFE

Between my life as I conceive it and

the life I have

well, I have

                      serious problems

Bullshit events in my life happen,

but I am never going

back to my past.

Official male attitudes aside,

the world of complaints can carry on without my help.

My

                       Life is the good life.

How does

         yours compare?
