In Sci-Fi and Fantasy we were given two poems by Jeremy Reed. I really don't like poetry but I thought I'd try it out again. But, instead of writing my own from scratch, I'd borrow some of Reed's lines.
Cut-Ups.
Like I did back in first year for Oversized, and like David Bowie used to do for his songs. I cut up the two poems and then used the lines I liked best and made them into a brand new poem. Actually, I made three. But I'll post them separately. So here is the first one.

Two mannequins
caked in blood
silent
depressed
rusting
scattered over the streets
of the deserted town
Almost expecting a last speech before absolute silence.
The signposted city
No one here.
I enjoyed reading and like the technique you used.
