Delicious Poems

Partly inspired by Austin Kleon and his awesome Blackout Poems made by blacking out newspaper pages and continuing on from my older post about how much beat poetry you can find in your Delicious Bookmark Tags, I will now present some of my favorite new beat wisdom generated from my ever-growing virtual word cloud:

      My current word cloud...

    
    And some of the new jazzy stuff I've found in it lately...

    what else can you find?

    And just for fun, here is my Blackout Poem I submitted to Mr. Kleon...
    Since I've been running low on any English  based printed text over here,
    I made this one from a letter my dad wrote to help me get my Freelance
    Artist's visa (Don't worry, I made a copy first).

     

The Beat Poetry in Your Bookmarks

If you are as disorganized as I am with your web browsing, your bookmarks probably mean nothing to you. You most likely can never retrace your virtual steps and find what you're looking for.

I finally decided to take control of my bookmarks and join Delicious, Yahoo's smart, and surprisingly beatnik, way of organizing all of the webpages you would otherwise lose forever. When you save a page you get to associate it with a group of "tags" that will help you remember how to find it again. This seems like a good idea. These tags are then compiled into a greater word cloud so you can search by theme or popularity.



This is my word cloud.

But my word cloud doesn't make me want to track down old sites. When I look at my tag list all I see are really jazzy beat poems.

So straight out of my own personal word cloud, I present to you the best of my beatnik bookmark poetry:
