Gatsby
Deep colors float
until forgotten.
Lights lurch away swiftly
dissolving and forming
in the same breath.
Trembling opal dances
alone
hushed by rhythm.

Lights lurch away swiftly
dissolving and forming
in the same breath.
Trembling opal dances
alone
hushed by rhythm.

This was an experiment with black-out poetry where you take a page from a book or magazine or article and pick out specific words and black out the rest with a marker, creating a poem. I used a page from The Great Gatsby.
