A Found Poem: Ghost Spells

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
