To participate in next week's patchwork poetry party, simply provide a link to one of your own poems in the comments section.
By leaving a link, you agree to allow our collective of poets use your lines in a brand new poem. One time rights, of course. And the patchwork poetry collective, a groovy bunch of like-minded souls in pursuit of the perfect word, do hereby promise on pain of left & right hand removal, to never publish or pass of as wholly their own, the poems created from other people's poems. I'm no lawyer, but I think that covers it!

A cento, also known as a patchwork poem, is a poem stitched together from other people's poems.
A while back, in a collaborative poetry group I belong to, we offered lines of our poetry to each other to piece together bold, new poems. It was a refreshing challenge, a really nice way to play with other people's words, yet create something original. Collaborating opens new worlds. It's good like that.

How to participate
This is a collaborative blog. The more, the merrier. The more poets, the better the patchwork poems!
Taking part is simple:
1st & 3rd Thursdays of the month, post a link to a poem all your own, a poem you are willing to allow other poets to take apart (with proper acknowledgement, of course!)
2nd & 4th Thursdays, post a link to your newly created patchwork poem!
If you'd like to be listed on the members list, email me at jillypoet@verizon.net

Thanks, Jill. Here's my link. After reading this again, I would probably change some of the line breaks, but I still like the poem.
