Found Poem from Everyday Text
You hand over a chunk of ordinary text and get back a poem made entirely from its own words. Nothing new is added; the only tool is the line break, used to find rhythm and meaning the original never meant. Ten to twenty lines, coherent in mood or theme. Good for poets who like constraint, teachers running found-poetry exercises, or anyone curious what a terms-and-conditions page secretly contains.
Create a found poem using only words and phrases taken directly from the following source text: {SOURCE_TEXT}. You may rearrange, cut, and reorder but you may not add any words not present in the original. Line breaks are your only editorial tool: use them to create rhythm, tension, and meaning that the original text did not intend. The poem should be between 10 and 20 lines. Aim for a coherent emotional or thematic arc that is completely different from the purpose of the source material. After the poem, write a single sentence explaining the transformation: what the source was and what the poem became. Do not explain the poem itself: only the source-to-poem shift. ⚠ human-in-the-loop: you are responsible for the results of using this prompt, not us.
