If you struggle to find the right words, why not start with somebody else’s? Such is the philosophy behind blackout poetry, a recent artistic and literary phenomenon that has blossomed in the past decade.

You can make blackout poetry pages in four steps:

1. Identify the text you want to blackout.

2. Draw boxes over meaningful words, images, phrases, and ideas.

3. Draw an image outline or arrows for reading the text, if necessary.

4. Color it in!
