Help - A Blackout Poem

Recently I've started running creative writing workshops with a local charity. We had our first session the other day, on National Poetry Day, so I partook in a little blackout poetry. This is one of my favourite kinds of poetry as it allows you to be creative whilst at the same time avoiding the, sometimes crippling, 'blank page syndrome'. This was my favourite poems I wrote that day, taken from a page of A Brief History Of Tractors In Ukrainian.



It reads:

run into the wrinkles below her eyes.
feel sorry for her.
help.
