Found Poem "The Night Listener" Pg. 3 | Oct. 13, 2012

I'm like a story.
A less than Jewelled story where love and blood attend the splendor,
perched atop middle-managed time

I told that story by heart

You gave me a heavy stare I learned to decipher:
You are the essence of the story,
in fact, I believe most stories cry out for that to be possible

I owe much to the unscripted intrigues of everyday life

But, I want you to believe
I was more myself than ever,
and I was raw with the realization of it.

Author's Note

Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry (a literary equivalent of a collage) by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus imparting new meaning.

This is really quality stuff! I'm a bit too tired to fully comprehend the deeper meaning, but the obvious exterior meaning reminds me of something by John Green, like the self-actualization in paper towns

[Aiza E.M. Bridge]

I appreciate that relation to Paper Towns. I was definitely experiencing some personal realization when I wrote this, so you're right on. Thanks for reading!
