A blackout poem made from a page of poetry by Emily Dickinson. Portions of the poem are crossed out in black to create the blackout poem. On the bottom right is a pencil drawing of a butterfly. The rest of the page is colored in grey with pencil.

By Jade Lilian

Took rain
And empty skies
with lives,
with butterflies

The figures rise
sunlight
golden,
night.
