wrote
a poem

but then each line grew
by the word sum of the previous two
until i started to worry at all these words coming with such frequency
because, as you can see, it can be easy to run out of space when a poem gets all Fibonacci sequency

For surviving Pickett’s charge we give thanks.
At Gettysburg we turned those Rebs back.
We’ve learned that we need to protect our flanks,
And foraging replaces hardtack.

Now that Grant is in charge of us boys,
Wins for Lee will be likely hard fought.
Cards and rounders are a few of our joys,
Here’s a tip: Avoid canister shot!

The battle of Gettysburg was the battle with the most casualties

Causing the confederate army to secede

Began the day by fighting and blasting

This war seems as if it would be everlasting

Wanted to takeover Cemetery Hill

But were surprised by a sneak attack and a lot of thrill

The use of outdated tactics

Was added to General Lee’s losing status

Fall for the trick, seeking gladness
in fine trinkets, milk, and honey,
and what can be had for money
for this makes the greatest madness--
trying to swap things for sadness.
Let us discover on this night
things that are wrong and love that's right--
alone in the woods, we will kiss
and find new paths to priceless bliss
on this soft journey by moonlight.

Find a piece of established text (newspaper, magazine, book, blog, etc.)

Make a copy of it if you aren’t allowed to damage the original

Using a black marker, black out words you don’t want to include in your poem.

The remaining words should intentionally create a free verse poem, so remove words methodically.

The text you leave showing and the redacted text form a sort of visual poem.
