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'.

a rather helpless sorrow.
She laughed at the flowers

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
