Blackout Poetry Roundup:

Chamber of Secrets

Welcome to round two of our blackout poetry series!

What is blackout poetry?

Blackout poetry is creating a poem from a page preexisting text, by connecting words on the page in a new way. One the words are chosen, the extraneous words are covered up.

Here are some examples:

They can be artistic or straightforward. They can use color or not. They might connect to the source text or have no relation to it at all.

THE CHALLENGE:

Create a blackout poem using one of the below pages from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

How To:

  • Everyone is eligible to participate
  • Any photo editor should work for creating your poem. For these purposes, I recommend pixlr. It's free and requires no download. 
  • Please use a link to an offsite host like imgur, imgbox, or nickpic when you post your poem.
  • Who wins will be determined by a poll at the end of the two weeks.
  • You may NOT add additional words or letters to the page
  • You MAY use the words out of order, though it is recommended to indicate reading order in this case.
  • You MAY enter one poem for each of the four pages
  • You may NOT enter more than one poem for a single page

Within these rules, you have complete creative freedom in completing your poem!

If you're not sure where to start, check out this article from Medium.

Deadline:

May 25, 11:59pm PST 

Rewards:

The winning poem(s) will be featured on HPFT's social media pages. No house cup points; this is just for fun.
