PAD#10-found poems and an explanation

Hi Flyreaders,
sorry I have been so M.I.A and a horrible poet of the day
I went to a wedding last weekend so I was out of town for a few days,
then I had to catch up with school and never really jumped back on the blogging bus.
But don't worry- the poem a day endeavor will continue after april, I plan on it until I have a solid 30 poems or so.

Today I attended a class where my teacher told us about "found poems"
It's basically a tecnique where you look through random pieces of writing, find words and phrases that are poetic, and string them together into a found poem. I was very intrigued and I decided to write one myself.
So here is a very short but I personally think very fluent found poem:


the moment of inertia
divided by the normal
to determine the stress in the extreme
by dividing the bending moment

I have a challenge for all of you:
Try to guess what or what kind of book or piece I found this in.
You might be surprised.
I also challenge you to write your very own found poem.
They are absolutely fantastic past-times.
Love
flywriter

also, keep an eye out for more poetry coming soon!
