Ash overtook me, all joy
only a seed on the wind.
I went to the alley and bought a cat
and a good piece of cheese, I wonder why.
As if it is better to be here
than anywhere else.
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 7 March 1659/60.
A cat and a piece of cheese! I don’t know why that’s funny, but it is. It made me laugh out loud.
Oh good. I was afraid I would be the only one who found it funny.
Yeah, I like the cat & cheese too.
Well, Dave, you’ve inspired me to give this a go. I even tried it with one of my creative writing classes.
That’s awesome. Thanks for the link and the example of your own work!
