A cut-it-out poem is a poem that is assembled from letters taken from magazines, newspapers, and other printed material. Cut out the titles of a dozen or so magazines or newspapers. Then continue to cut the the titles so that you have a pile of individual letters. Mix the letter up and then assemble the letters to form words related to your theme or subtopic. Create a poem using the words you’ve created from the cutouts. Paste the poem onto a piece of computer paper. Paste them neatly and with a purpose. Since letters are bound to fall off, it would be a good idea to make and use a photocopy of the poem.

Life is a mystery,

a beautiful tangle of
dreams and adventures.

The journey begins
with a single step,
surrounded by
inspiration and wonder.

Nature’s bounty
is a treasure trove,
of flora and fauna,
of color and life.

Majestic mountains
and serene oceans,
beckon us to explore,
to embrace the unknown.

Through creativity and courage,
we carve a path of our own,
finding joy, purpose,
and beauty along the way.
