Please explain again for us the meaning of the OED word of the day... erasure poem, and how you play--RCH
Erasure poetry is created by taking an existing piece of text (in this case, from the Oxford English Dictionary's "word of the day" definition/etymology at www.oed.com.) and deleting/erasing words from it until you end up with something completely new. I leave the fonts, punctuation, etc. unchanged, so that's why some are a little strange.
I was taught this technique by Jen Bervin, a NY poet.
