I'm not sure I understand the deletion method..my brain is saying that all the letters in the poem are in the poem, so that means I am missing the point, aren't I?

So, you would start with your source text, for this example, I will use a book page. You want to emphasize the words for your "poem" and somehow obscure or render obsolete the ones you do not want. This can be achieved in a few different ways. You could black out the whole background with Sharpie marker - or use paint - or use crosshatching - or doodle - or use bits of torn paper -

see, the possibilities are endless. This is also known as a black out poem. I just hate to use that term because it does not have to be BLACK. Maybe try Googling both of them and see what populates. I hope this answered your question, if not, I am more than happy to send an email with pictures of a few examples.

Let me know!

So we would write something including words that don't belong in our poem so when you read the words without (blacked out) words your palm shows up?

last line should read "POEM shows up
