Privacy Poem Example (abcb rhyme pattern)

Private Living

Give up civilized life for a cave

Digital secrets can’t be told

Prepare for your social life deep freeze

Get used to your time in the cold

Nothing online for people to save

On Ebay you’ll never be sold

“I’m off the grid” now you can wheeze

“Life’s filled with cavernous mold !”

Instead of a Tweet you’ll give ‘em a wave

‘cause e-mail is even too bold

ID protection will be a real breeze

Hacking thieves can’t ever take hold

If it’s privacy you frequently crave

Guess it’s a sign that you’re old

Disconnected life’s as fun as you please

By computers you can’t be controlled

Article Found Poem 

small but 'nasty'

on April 8 oil spilled

approximately 2,700 litres 

highly toxic

viscose

thick

Can't contain all with the booms

cleanup continues 
oil globs wash up on

English Bay Beach, Sunset Beach, Second Beach, Third Beach, Siwash Rock

Crab Park, New Brighton Park, Inner Coal Harbour

beaches north of False Creek remain closed

there needs to be a plan

it's quite toxic

"It's a nasty kind of fuel," and will keep washing up on beaches

Twitter Found Poem

#BurnabyMountain

The pipeline protest draws more demonstrators; heavy police presence

livefeed by Sea Shepherd

Crowd chanting Protect the people, not Kinder Morgan

eight arrests today, so that's 61 total so far

SFU molecular biology professor @LynneQuarmby, Author J. B. MacKinnon and Tamo Suzuki got arrested

Dr Alejandro Frid arrested 4 defending his daughter's future.

11yr old was released

David Suzuki wrote a letter to grandson arrested. Suzuki is scolding the RCMP on #BurnabyMountain

"The RCMP are glorified security for a Private Company..it has to stop" (Tamiko Suzuki)

Notice which journalists save all of their snark & really hard questions for protesters, not corporations

#Burnaby said NO to Kinder Morgan (AKA Enron) pipeline expansion

proud of my city for taking a stand

Seattle is with you #BurnabyMountain! Solidarity

Bus from #Victoria arrived 2 #Burnabymountain

Amazing how many people don’t want
