The Following Text Is Quoted:

Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry by making changes in spacing and/or lines (and consequently meaning), or by altering the text by additions and/or deletions.

I "found" this poem from a poet, my friend & client Erik Estabrook via his website ErikEstabrook.com - Erik's Poetry Showcase -- The words are from the first section of poems listed. As of 10/20/2011 4:20 PM - this section is unfinished, a few more poems w/links still needing to be added... "Lost Prophet" (the abstract poem) is taken from the unlinked titles...

Anyway - without saying too much - The poem eerily makes for an interesting read I think...

Lost Prophet

Lost prophet
so much for surrealism,
for peace. Glad to know you,
a new view. I've not yet
begun to write to the world,
the line of fire,
seeing blind.

Rewind.

Freedom is the 5 skies, frustration
cycling through. Hows the view
now?

Moses with a staff. The
amber tree a lifetime sacred.
Into your reality, "Hello
disaster."

Night poem out of shadows.
The stone woman retreating from life,
prone to silence: March
of the slaying tongue.

Who needs the sun?

Perfection.
