Found poetry is made by taking words that already exist in non-poetic sources-such as newspapers, letters, labels, speeches, or online text-and arranging them as a poem. The poet usually keeps the original wording but changes the line breaks, spacing, or order to reveal unexpected rhythm, image, or meaning.
Because the language is borrowed rather than newly invented, found poetry often depends on selection and framing: what the poet leaves in, leaves out, and emphasizes on the page.
Example
the weather report says
heavy silence in the afternoon
and possible rain
below that
someone has written
come home soon
