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.
A Dark Night
Heard the trailing garments of the Night
Sweep through her marble halls,
When the hours of Day numbered
Night laughed more,
I dream I’m taken by light in her arms
At long and dear last,
Awake, I chase this fatal thought,
And see the shadow cast,
As Night showed his dark, grim face
Reduced to ghostly gloom,
The imminence of Death’s black night
Brought heaven closer to you.
