#NaPoWriMo’s prompt for today has me leaving things out:
Our prompt for today (optional, as always) is an old favorite – the erasure! This involves taking a pre-existing text and blacking out or erasing words, while leaving the placement of the remaining words intact.
—–
the earth was darkness
the surface of the deep was moving
over the surface
light separated from the darkness
in the midst of the waters
the expanse separated below from above
the heavens teem with swarms of living creatures
let fly the great sea monsters
and multiply, beasts of the earth
god creeps on the ground
man in our image,
according to our likeness
male and female
subdue and rule the sea
the sky
the earth
Did you use biblical text Madam Caw?
I do like the end result.
I did. It’s the first book of Genesis. It seemed like a good place to start.
And just to let you know, I’m a mister, not a Madam. The Internet is a confusing place.
Thanks for the heads up Mr Caw. I will no longer call you Madam, in case gender dysphoria takes hold.
