For the found poem, I opened my copy of Sense and Sensibility and found 10 words to base the poem on. I then spent 2 hours trying to make sense of these words before placing them in the poem below.
Alone in the garden, transfixed in a reverie
Came memories of paradise that flooded forth
For upon reflection, he saw it clear
That her affections, of gold had more worth
As though he was drinking, he consumed the air
Marianna she was, maiden of the north
Although unread, she was very fair
Convinced of her beauty, the belle of the court
Left him to himself, without a care
To dream his sweet dream, that satisfaction brought.
Thank you for reading.
