submitted for Imaginary Garden With Real Toads, Tuesday Platform (though inspired by a prompt I missed at dVerse Poets Pub about black out poetry!) I used one of my husband's outdated pathology books for this one!

First.. I admire the use of source for inspiration.. very good to use a book like that, there is of course some sickness in the way a heart is hurting (and hopefully mending) but usually not reasons of pathology... well done on the prompt :-)
love the last lines
Wonderful to have such a really emotional sort of poem--or one describing the heart on an emotional level, come from the pathology book--very cool--definitely the black out page should be displayed with the poem. (As you've done.) Thanks, K.
Nice, Mouse ~~ very nice!
I'm always excited by black out poetry - so interesting to see a poem take shape from a backdrop of prose.
Love the progression of the heart - transformation. Nicely done.
The heart can be quite wild, indeed!
I love the form that you used for this poem because it enhances the message so much more than if it were written in bulk. Good work here! Loved it.
All the more impressive, that this poem came from a pathology book! Very cool write.
Wow...I have never heard of blackout poetry, that is really cool. I can't believe how well a message came about in my mind after reading that and then to learn how it was made was pretty amazing. Great job!
This is really cool!
I love your poem! Your black out rocked the course of love-alright!
Bravo, Lolamouse~
I love that you pulled this from words in a pathology textbook. Very appropriate with the topic, very cool.
