Blackout Poetry!
Black out of BTK's "Oh, Anna Why Didn't You Appear"
Okay, so apparently on here I can't do proper blackout poetry so the images are the actual version of this poem. I'm honestly really annoyed that so many platforms don't let folks alter background colors on text.
Anyways, blackout poetry is when you take something that already exists and black out chunks of it to create something new. In this case, it was a pre-existing poem and I made a new poem. You can use any sort of text to make something new as well.
Do a blackout of this poem in particular was amusing because we all know he would have hated the desecration of his words.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
