Have you found poetry?



Because April is National Poetry Month and because the next PerPoTues is about Found Poetry, I've been more aware of little poetic snippets hidden in the every day - even in parking lots.

No parking
Between signs
By order of
Fire marshall

Does that sound a little like poetry to you?

What about this recipe excerpt?

8 lamb rib chops,
one inch thick
or pork rib chops,
cut thicker.
Chopped sweet peppers:
green or red or yellow.
2 minced cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
crushed dried oregano

olive oil or cooking oil
Sliced pitted ripe olives
Snipped fresh parsley

Place chops on broiler pan.
Broil 3 inches from heat.
Turn once; broil until done.



For inspiration, here are a couple of my faves from foundpoetry.wordpress.com. Their poems are much more expertly constructed than my first attempts above! :)
To learn more about what Found Poetry is, there is a great article on Poets.org.

What about you? Are you noticing more poetry in the world around you?
