One of my friends was telling me about a poet that took pages out of a book and crossed out words, circled words and phrases, etc. and made poetry out of another's work. Has anyone ever seen this done? Better yet, can anyone here do it? To accomplish this on-line it might be possible to change the color of the text, white for the words crossed out, black for the words kept, or blue.... I wait to see who's most clever here...JazzO?

I arranged as well: m'lady's quest A challenge of my friend well met Et took to book, cross sword and made Of other work, a one verse stet
Ere I this night hang the hex - the sword for words I severed Perverse, it gi's thee this complex - On honor, will it be ever dead.
Well, I didn't have a lot of prose to work with and I like cryptic crosswords. So sue me.
