The Titles Spoke to Me #2 ©Lyn Crain
A Gambler’s Anatomy
on the Streets of Laredo
with Wolf Boys and
Black Lives Imagined
Wild in The Streets
in Blood and Sand
the last Shelter in Place.
In those Crazy Years
Small Great Things
Just What You Are to Me
The Nonconformist
Leaving The Faith
for a Bohemian Grove
No Place Is Home.
If He Writes It, She Will Come
Make A Mess of It
Strangers in Their Own Land
The Ghost in The Machine, Maybe Your Soul
Paint It Black
Pure Adrenaline Utter Ease
Under The Udala Trees
It Stands Alone
in Denial
I Must Be Living Twice
The Hating Game
This poem is written with titles found in the Sunday Book Review and the Weekend Arts of the New York Times. This poetic style is called Found Poetry. The words in Italics are books and review titles. I did not alter them in any way. I simply placed them all on paper and shuffled them until I created a poem.
