a found poem is one where words, phrases or sentences are taken from one area and rearranged, or altered in some way to bring about a different meaning. this was a found poem i did for a final project in my feminist theories class. it is based on radical feminism. with that being sad, these are not all my words...
DO WOMEN HAVE TO BE NAKED...(a found poem)
To get into the met museum?
"[i portray] sexaliciousity? [...do you?"]
The bitch shows up wearing a wrinkled ass bed sheet - as swole as a pregnant lady's

[story 2:] "mothers killed their babies, then killed themselves..."
- it is not clear what the advantages of cannibalism for the female

"THE LORE RELATED TO FEMALE MANTIDS EATING THE HEADS OF MALES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO
SUCCESSFULLY COPULATE HAS MORE RECENTLY BEEN QUESTIONED. APPARENTLY THE ORIGINAL
RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED WITH STARVED SPECIMENS." - dress and jackman. a field guide to common texas insects
[why do we portray all] females as villains[?]
-trapped inside a linen closet i began noticing painted toenails.

[society responds:] snow white you black bitch, and don't you forget it!

barbarians on their own [...]
[so with malice sans reason, she persuades us that] with Barbie, [Ken's] really no more
than a pair of soes or a belt or a purse.
[and that we all live in a glass house, with a] glass ceiling [and glass walls so when people walk past, they can see how we are] blinded and silenced, bound by bloody ropes.
[the news man on tv wants to get into the new woman'a pants. i can tell. so he tries to see it like she does. she doesn't appreciate it.]

[so as all the Martha's and Betty's drag her away by her 4 inch leopard print pumps, she yells]
the flying fickle finger of fashion will fuck you up!
[and we think, what nice alliteration.]
