Bloggers, have you ever looked at the search terms that find your blog? I used to mine the search terms that found my Laughing Housewife blog for amusing posts, but I turned these particular – and genuine, missing apostrophe and all – search terms into what’s known as a found poem. A found poem is exactly what it sounds like; a poem made up of words the poet has found. Very easy to write! Anyone can do it, because the words are there (wherever you’re looking); you just have to put them together.
I think these particular search terms found The Laughing Housewife because I used to blog about hair a lot – usually my own; sometimes, Julia Roberts’. I took ‘write about what you know’ to extreme lengths, if I’m honest 😉
