A "[|found poem]" is a poem that you don't write, you find! The words are all hiding in an article, book, or story that another author has written. Find the most important words, arrange them so they make sense, and you've found the poem!



**Directions:** Create a "found poem" using an non-fiction article.


 * Read your animal writing. As you read, write down 15 words or phrases that help you picture the animal in your mind.
 * Pick words and phrases that you really like!
 * Put each phrase or word on an index card.
 * Look over your cards. You need at least ten. Get rid of any you don't like, or that don't fit your poem.
 * Arrange them the way you think makes the best poem.
