From Wikipedia, "Found poetry" (emphasis added)
Not that any Wiki is dispositive, but it seems a question of whether your product is "treated" or "untreated." Source (for example "The Unknown" which is an extended quotation from Donald Rumsfeld) mentioned external to the poem seems to be sufficient.
Hope that helps... never tried it, but might.
Found poetry is a type of poetry
created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes
whole passages from other sources
and reframing them as poetry
(a literary equivalent of a collage)
by making changes in spacing and lines, or
by adding or deleting text, thus imparting
new meaning.
The resulting poem can be defined as either
treated: changed in a profound and systematic manner; or
untreated: virtually unchanged from the order, syntax
and meaning of the original.
