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.

poisoned love

I’d take a bullet for you

Only to realize you were the one holding the gun


I cannot undo what is done

Cannot unsing a song that’s been sung


But your betrayal will leave a scar that cannot be erased

A blemish on my skin


Sticks and stones never broke my bones

But words made me starve myself

Until you could see all of them


But even still I want to let my love for you thrive

Even as my knees buckle and my blood drains


Although you cannot change things by loving them harder

I will try
