I Found a Poem!!!!

Original:
Since their debut in 1986, The Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs. They are experts at treacherous feats of trick cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting, and gymnastics. They defy gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, and control. They push the envelope of human possibility with astonishing juggling dexterity and incredible balancing feats, showcasing tremendous skill and ability. They are masters of agility and grace.

  1. I've just been going through some posts to get some ideas as to these "found poems", and I just wanted to let you know that I really liked this. You definitely changed the tone of how this was being said, and made it a lot more meaningful. Good job!
