POEM STARTER

Create a cento using lines from your favourite poems. You may also wish to use lines from your own poems, but the end result should be coherent!.

A cento is a poetic form made up entirely of lines taken from other poems, which are woven together to create a new, unique piece.

Blink

Blink and then we're out of here, blink and there's tears in your eyes, blink and we'll swallow our pride, get God on our side, so that safe place was a lie, didn't really take me by surprise, it was always gonna be one of us that dies, maybe we'll find some allies and look into their eyes, we'll see a reflection of red and blue, do those colours mean anything to you? There'll be black and red, then green and white, white when its over, white when its done, and we're either under the rubble or under the sun, waving the flag, blink and can you see it drag across the air? White flag means surrender, we're saying our last prayer, there's nowhere to go from there, there's blood in my hair, no food to share, can't sleep too aware, it's quite the scare, I swear this isn't fair, do you fucking care?

Cuz I seem to be the only one,

blink, because one of us can,

blink and turn away because you can,

they can't blink,

they can pray but they can't escape,

so blink and make a choice

because you can
