Description:

A cento poem is a poetical work wholly composed of verses or passages taken from other authors; only disposed in a new form or order. I did a swap like this before and really enjoyed the process of composition.

If you join this swap you will send 1 cento poem which is at least 12 lines long and each line should come from a different existing poem. You will send your cento handwritten to 2 swap partners and you will include the name of the poem and author for each line of your cento.

As this will be handwritten, an opportunity exists to use some loveliness in the way of beautiful presentation in the way of paper and/or handwriting, but this is not a compulsory part of the swap. I have set a minimum 4.5 rating for this swap so, no flaking will occur ( we hope!) but I can angel for anyone if required. Also, PM me if you would be willing to angel for others as well if flaking should occur.

I hope you enjoy this process. Feel free to contact me at any stage of the process and I will do what I can to help you have a great swapping experience

I have never heard of this type of poem before but I LOVE the idea. I took peotry in college so I am going to get out my old book. I knew I kept it for something.

I have to move this back to watch. We are going to do a last minute move. If I can do it before the sign up date, then I will sign up but if I can't do it before sign up date, I think I probably wouldn't be able to finish by the signup date.
