Jim,

If you got your words from other texts without adding anything of your own, then it’s a found poem. I listed three definitions of found poetry in Post #2. I suppose you read it. It’s from The Found Poetry Review.

I was obviously mistaken about saying your poem is not a found poem. (Incidentally, the link you supplied didn’t work. There was nothing there.) But you said you got all the words form Facebook, which tells me yours is a found poem. So, again, I apologize for assuming you wrote the poem yourself based on the Simon epigraph. I misunderstood your method. I suppose it was because you didn’t reference the original source.
