Karina Klesko Exercise 2: Two sources in a Found Poem
Dragons at the Door
Haibun
A gentle
ascent into the foothills of the Transylvanian Alps
reveals meadowlands that give way to crumbling houses
with chickens in the front yard and
laundry flapping on clothes lines in back yards.
Adults drunk on poverty,
children at play in their dreams.
Twilight shadows are slowly creeping, twisting, shifting
tree limbs
into prehistoric beasts, striking and melancholy.
Careful! Try not to listen to the snare of the wind.
Dragons
rise, and dragons roar
Dragons, dragons at the door.
Dragons, dragons passing by
Dragons flap and dragons fly
Dragons come and dragons go
Dragons, dragons don't say no.
Dragons here and dragons there
Dragons, dragons everywhere
looking up—
the clouds change
into an army

Definition Material:
From
Poets.org:
Found poems take existing
texts and refashion them, reorder them, and present them as
poems. The literary equivalent of a collage, found poetry is
often made from newspaper articles, street signs, graffiti,
speeches, letters, or even other poems.
and
from
Wikipedia:
Found poetry is a type of
poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole
passages from other sources and re-framing them as poetry by
making changes in spacing and/or lines (and consequently
meaning), or by altering the text by additions and/or
deletions. The resulting poem can be defined as either
treated: changed in a profound and systematic manner; or
untreated (verbatim): virtually unchanged from the order,
syntax and meaning of the original.
