A BLACKOUT POEM FOR THE FRIDAY POETS POETRY EXCHANGE PRESENTED BY @prydefoltz

I am writing this blackout poem for entry into the FRIDAY POETS POETRY EXCHANGE. It is a new way for poets to interact with other poets in the community. Check it out.

The fiery woman in the red mask
would leave the knight for the kingdom.
Her way is life, she is quickly a slave,
a guest meant to sell.
The truth of it sharp knives,
and no cause but ill rule.
Her smile spit doubt of
a child left in sun and stars;
but a blind child now,
even the knight is power no more.

ORIGINAL BLACKED OUT PAGE

BLACKOUT POETRY is a form of word art where the poet uses an already established text and creates a new work by blacking out words till a poem is formed. Generally the subject of the original work has no connection to the subject of the poem. It is a challenging way to use your creative intuition. Give it a try and you will be amazed at what you can draw out of the words. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy creating it.
