What Have We Done?

The "The Writer's Cramp"  challenge for today was to write a "found poem" using at least three or as many as six book titles, making the titles bold so they stand out.

I've never written a "found poem" before.  To be brutally honest, I've never even heard of a "found poem" before, but I've decided to give it a shot even though I don't have a clue.

I chose the following titles:

Twenty Wishes
All We Ever Wanted Was Everything
Predictably Irrational
A Ten-Year Nap
A Bright Shiny Morning
Mother Nurture

There are a few others hidden in there, but these are the ones I chose to highlight because the others merely came about as the wording fell into place.

Now that the contest is over, I have highlighted the other titles that happened to work themselves into my work:

A New Earth
Life Beyond Measure
Where Are You Now?

What Have We Done?


We were given Twenty Wishes
But All We Ever Wanted Was Everything

We wished for A New Earth
And Life Beyond Measure to enjoy it

When what we needed was A Ten-Year Nap
And A Bright Shiny Morning

Were we Predictably Irrational to think that it could last?
Mother Nurture, Where Are You Now?
