Write Blackout Poetry
You can create a Blackout Poem by taking any other text and scribbling out the words that you don't want, leaving behind a poem.
It's lots of fun, hugely creative and challenging like completing a crossword.
Inspiration
Watch this inspirational stuff from Austin Kleon and then maybe go shopping for black markers and visit charity shops for books that you would like to create blackout poetry from.
Palimpsest
