Frequent commenter Maureen Doalles sprung into action when our call for found poetry went out. She had a poem posted by the following day. Taking her words from this page on our museum’s website, Maureen produced this evocative verse:

The impulse gave way
with the barest of meansduring the late break
away, the marks a compelling glimpseinto the expressive potential
of intimate rhythmsrealized in the fleeting freshness
of bold gestures and interior geometries.~ Maureen E. Doallas

I enjoyed so much being able to contribute a “found poem”. I’ve written another that I want to feature on my blog in a week or so.
I hope you’ll receive many more entries.
