The Mould
Experiment with blackout/redacted/erasure poetry for Poppy's Prompts 3
The mould of - inside - is not the - you see outside of -
The - of me - me is the - me the me I - to be
The mould of - inside me is the hidden me, that wants -
The mould of me - me is the me in the - you see

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: This is for Poppy's Prompts thingo 3. I have been experimenting with redacted/blackout/erasure poetry recently in WIPs, so there you go.

I'm dumb and need this explained to me😅
The me is the reading your poem is the me is the liked your poem. Is the me of the Paulitical poem!
I feel the brokenness, the stutter of my soul, in this more than any other words I might think to supply. Well done, Paul. So well done & effective I feel a bit light-headed after reading it.
Very cool! Loved it!
Interesting. Tricky. But interesting!
