A while ago I was part of a group that was challenged to give their hand at a blackout poem. It felt like a challenge, and I needed the distraction so I decided to give it a try. I grabbed one of my absolute favorite works of literature, The Odyssey by Homer. I started just flipping through the pages and landed on a random page (which I then went online and found a digital copy of the book and pulled up that page) and started blacking out any words that didn't resonate with me and how I was feeling that day.
