This is an introduction to my Found Poem. A found poem is using words from a text to make a poem. I used What is a Found Poem? | Sample Found Poem | Visual Examples of Found Poems to make my found poem. It is now fall and I found it convenient to make my poem about fall.
The Leaves Leaves in the day, I was too excited. “Come on Jim.” the leaves yelled like a rowdy obnoxious generation z crowd. “Alright.” I said as I drank my water bottle. I walked over the leaves, “Aye we’re here” the leaves yelled like hooligans. The leaves were on the ground, on the gate, and on the brick wall. I was disappointed and went into a deep sadness for walking over the leaves. Embarrassed of this, I went home to rest. “Well your home early.” my mother said surprised. “Yeah” I said with total awkwardness. I went to my room to get away from reality for a while. My poem is Free-form excerpting and remixing: Poets excerpt words and phrases from their source text(s) and rearrange them in any manner they choose Do you think the narrative provides enough descriptive language to create a compelling found poem? I think my narrative does provide enough descriptive language to create a compelling found poem. That being said, I could put a bit more in my narrative. If not, how do you plan to revise the descriptive language in the narrative? By replacing commonly used descriptive words for more complex ones. Do you think the descriptive language more so creates a setting or delivers the subtext of a theme? I feel in my narrative descriptive language serves as creating a setting. Ex: smelly, crusty bus. In revision, will you focus on using description to develop more of the setting or more of a theme? I will focus on using description to create a setting and try to also incorporate a theme.

This found poem provides some sensory descriptions and dialogue to mirror your narrative draft. I notice you used one paragraph to contain all of the text. Was this an intentional choice? If so, how did this choice impact the poem?
