Nope, and don't think I will. It's not interesting and/or I'm lazy.

What are the rules for found poems?
#1
Can you switch out little words like 'and, 'the'? Or does it have to be an exact quote? Can you mix in thoughts and images of your own, a half-and-half approach?

My immediate problem is that I have a person selected who has intriguing views and philosophies, but doesn't use much imagery/simile/metaphor in her speech. She's doing interviews and such, so she's factual -- answering questions and the like. So.....I've reached an impasse.

How do YOU approach found poems?

What's the proper way to cite the quote-ee?
