Gerta and the Silly Billies
Gerta and the Silly Billies The troll family of the tribe Jeronaka had lived under one particular wooden bridge for as long as anyone could remember. Their Great-Grandtrolls would still be there if they had not gotten a bit too old in their joints and chose to move out to the old troll’s home that was under the larger bridge nearer the town. This was easier for their relations who were either working or bringing up the next generation of trolls. Honestly, the extra space was handy as even when the oldest ones left there were still three generations snugly fitting in the little house disguised by undergrowth and overgrowth, rocks, mud and anything else that would ensure that they were not in view of humankind.

Today's Found Poem has been written in response to one of my latest book purchases 'Alice's Adventure In Wonderland & Other Stories' by Lewis Carroll. I picked 12 random pages - then the 8th sentence and then the 9th, 10th, 11th word moving onto that pages 23rd sentence and it's 9th, 10th and 11th words reshaped, rejiggled and reorganised into 'Alice'.
