What´s a blackout poem?

A blackout poem is a form of found poetry that uses a few thoroughly selected words from a text to create a new text, poem, and even new ideas unrelated to the original content. It involves the technique of blacking out the words that won´t be used so that they are no visible, usually with a black permanent marker over a text printed on a piece of paper, like a newspaper.  

So, to answer this question, you should choose words from the text that form a poem, and then color the rest of the text black.

Blackout poetry is a form of found poetry, meaning that uses an already-existing text to generate something different.

To erase the rest of the text, I used a digital tool found on most computers that emulates that same technique.
