====================================================================== Title: Cento for Wallace Stevens Date: 2022-04-30 Link: https://spool-five.com/poetry/2022_apr30_cento/ Word Count: 128 ====================================================================== Phew! I made it! I still can't believe I managed to write a poem a day for the whole month of April! I went with the daily prompt for this last poem. The prompt was to write a 'cento' - a poem composed of lines from other poems. Since the only poetry book I have around at the moment is a Wallace Steves one, I decided to use all lines from his poems for this. The poems I used were: - Dance of the Macabre Mice - The Place of the Solitaires - Things of August - Loneliness in Jersey City This dance has no name. It is a hungry dance. Whether it be in mid-sea Or in the penumbra of summer night- The deer and the dachshund are one.
