Sometimes I like to take a stack of books and search for lines that speak to me to create found poems in random order to see if they make sense – kind of like a scavenger hunt. I used the following books and found 4 ten-syllable lines broken into five syllables with line breaks, in this order:
The Lost Spells by Robert McFarlane and Jackie Morris
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
James by Percival Everett
North Woods by Daniel Mason
Ghost Spells
the world is sudden
with wonder again
we can go over
the new winter list
I’m sorry to have
barged into your home~
how affectionate
I feel for my ghosts

I love how your found poem sets up its own story. I’m curious about what happens next.
