Acrostic chance: Pick a book at random and use title as acrostic key phrase. For each letter of key phrase go to page number in book that corresponds (a=1, z=26) and copy as first line of poem from the first word that begins with that letter to end of line or sentence. Continue through all key letters, leaving stanza breaks to mark each new key word.
(My Variation: If letter is used more than once, page number is multiplied by times used. I also picked the first sentence of the first complete paragraph)
Book Used: Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chboksy
After the dentist's office, my mom drove me to the cemetary where a lot of her relatives are buried.
My dad said, "There are other people who have it a lot worse."
For me personally, as much as I don't understand my mom and dad
and as much as I feel sorry for both of them sometimes,
I can't help but love them very much.
-------------------------------------------
I gave up around the letter "s" because I just didn't like the way the poem was starting to flow. I thought it was ironic the first couple lines I found were all related in some way and made a very nice small poem which I shall call "Parents".
