Poetic Form: Cento - Prompt - The Five Senses

In my continuing series of form contests here is my next set. The title is the form to use and the prompt for your entries. If you do not follow the prompt and the form your entry will be removed
 
Poetic Form: Cento  
 

From the Latin word for "patchwork," the cento is a poetic form made up of lines from poems by other poets. Though poets often borrow lines from other writers and mix them in with their own, a true cento is composed entirely of lines from other sources. Early examples can be found in the work of Homer and Virgil.
