I’m a huge Elton John fan, and a poet, so I wrote an example of “found poetry”, where you write a poem using text from other works. I decided to write an entire poem using only the first lines of his songs, even the title. I know all the songs by heart; the hard part was getting them to rhyme AND make sense together!
