50 Shades of Regret

10552561_1461500197440122_5235131119817003125_nEarlier I wrote a post about Found Poetry. I wrote something new and unique using Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine. Ah, Bradbury! What a thing of beauty!

Now imagine that you’re writing a found poem based on something a little more…well, base.

Introducing R.J. Keller’s brainchild 50 SHADES OF REGRET. And I can hardly type this with a straight face!

R.J. picked up everybody’s favorite book, 50 Shades of Grey and used it to create brilliant blackout poetry, such as this gem:

Crap
Double crap
Crap

Holy crap

Poem #2, by R.J. Keller.

Art! It’s art, I say!

I bought my own copy from Goodwill, brandished my Lysol, and I’m going to take a crack at it, as well.

  1. What a fabulous idea! Only… that will mean I have to buy a copy of 50 Shades of Grey and I’m not sure I can stand the embarrassment. I mean, everyone will think I’m buying it to *read*…

    1. Ah, that’s cunning. Then nobody knows you’ve bought it. I was picturing getting it from a charity shop and having to suffer the pitying looks of the staff.
