April: Blackout Poetry Challenge!








Celebrate April as National Poetry Month with the Blackout Poetry Challenge!


What's the Blackout Poetry Challenge?

Choose a page from the Bellya window basket and use a sharpie/dark marker to black out everything BUT the words you want to create a poem.

It can be silly or serious, and you can make as many as you like! Pin yours to the board and read what others have created!

You may also share poems that you have already written. Just stick'em on the board!

"Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful." - Rita Dove, the first African-American Poet Laureate of the United States.



Check out some Blackout Poetry examples after the jump!
