About the Blackout Poem Generator

A blackout poem (or erasure poem) is created by taking an existing piece of text and blacking out most of the words, leaving only a chosen few to form a brand-new poem. Our AI Blackout Poem Generator analyzes your text and reveals the hidden poem within it.

Paste any paragraph — an article, an old letter, a book excerpt — and let the AI find the poetry hiding inside it.

What Is a Blackout Poem?

Blackout poetry is a form of erasure poetry where an artist takes a page of existing text and blacks out (or draws over) most of the words, leaving only selected words visible. Those remaining words, read in order, form a new poem.

  • Source text required — you provide the paragraph or article the poem is extracted from.

  • Redacted visuals — removed words are shown as solid blocks, just like a redacted document.

  • Found meaning — the surviving words form a new, often surprising poem.
