” I wanted to Disappear”
This found poem is based on a part of the text I selected from an article I read in Humanities class. Actually, I feel like there is more than one climax in this article, and personally, I focused on the part where the main character Amy felt embarrassed during the Christmas dinner her family and her crushes’ family had. The main character, who is also the author of this article, Amy, is a Chinese who lives in the states. My found poem was made out of words that described her feelings and also the environment while the “Awkward dinner”, I mainly focused on adjectives and words that describe actions. I think, with these words in my poem, it is very clear for the readers to understand what I am trying to imply about Amy’s feelings. At that moment, it was as embarrassing enough that she would want to disappear. Therefore, I used verbs to illustrate what has been going on, on the table. Finally, I added some drawings to my blank paper, all of the small doodles are related to what happened in the scene. Overall, I tried my best to create this poem, even though I had very little experience in writing a poem.
