"Why did the spark of existence bestow despair and shrieks and misery?
I gave in like a wild beast in mockery and the sweet voice of stillness enjoyed the ruin.
But this sensation became a kindness from that moment the sun rose accordingly."

Erasure poetry is individual words pulled from an extract or a text to make a poem. The unused words are blacked out with drawings or lines, or simply a black marker. This is why it is also known as 'blackout poetry'.

These words were pulled from Frankenstein, using a geometric layout with flowers and patterns to decorate.
