Traditionally, Blackout (Aka Erasure) Poetry consists of selecting words from a block of text, erasing the rest to carve out a whole new or hidden meaning.

But it really depends on what you do with it … what are you looking to make given a block of text? Puzzles? Riddles? Quotes? Your own take? New meanings? Expressions? Or just Highlighting what caught your imagination?
