Pandemonium
Today's Found Poem has been written in response to our latest book purchase 'Pandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology' by Ed Simon. I picked 12 random pages - then the 12th sentence and then the 12th, 13th, 14, 21st, 22nd and 23rd words reshaped, rejiggled and reorganised into 'Pandemonium'.

Never Blame Anyone in Your Life: Every Encounter Has Value
The presence of life means that it is a web of interactions with different people and various events. Each of the individuals we come across and each of the interactions we end up having are crucial to our story. It is important not to hold others responsible for the push and pull factors that define our existence in the world, but rather to appreciate everybody’s contribution. That way, every lesson from a particular experience is incorporated, effectively making life happier and more enduring.
