The Reconstruction
For Happy Found Poem Friday in ViM on a Sunday
Introduction.
As usual, I have made this difficult for myself because how do you reconstruct something to have the opposite meaning of something that does not really make sense anyway?
But you know I will try anything.
The source is one of my plagiaristic poems, which is confusingly positive, but I think the reconstruction is confusingly negative.
Please let me know what you think.

Hi everyone! Happy Found Poem Friday! It's a little late but there's nothing like burning the midnight oil, am I right? Here's prompt a to help creativity flow:
Write a found poem that has the opposite meaning of it's original work. If the original poem is happy, then your found poem should be sad, and so forth. The original work for this prompt should be poetry. Keep in mind, you are limited to only use words that are FOUND π in the original work
"What makes a found poem?
Found poems take existing texts and refashion them, reorder them, and present them as poems. The literary equivalent of a collage, found poetry is often made from newspaper articles, street signs, graffiti, speeches, letters, or even other poems."

Darkness Falls
Introduction I am trying to stop myself doing these Eclipse poems but I can resist anything but temptation, and this shows how weak-willed I am. To make it a little more interesting I am going to describe an eclipse using the Acrostic and Fibonacci (Fib) poetic forms combined.

One of the Crazy Things Rich People Do That's Scary To Think About
They impress us, and sometimes they scare us, but the ultra-rich are always interesting. Some of their famous activities include buying yachts too big to move through channels, buying ridiculously priced cars that could feed the homeless of New York for weeks, and their expensive tastes in sex workers.
