Patchwork Poems ~~ A funny take on "Cento" ~~ Yet AGAIN!

lol Easy! You just take the first line of your most recent poem and that will be this new poem's title.

The first two lines of your second most recent poem will be the start of your new poem.

Go to your third poem and take the next two lines.

Do this again with your fourth poem and fifth and sixth poems.

Now you have a ten-line poem.

THAT'S IT, FOLKS! Now you have created a strange but very lovely poem!

RULES: No erotica, adult themed lines, or shocking language.

You do not have to include the links to the poems you used. Just do it right.

HAVE FUN AND LAUGH AT WHAT YOU CREATE because I know I will have fun and laugh reading your entry.

      No, because then poets could build poems with the best lines they could find out of their collection. The idea is that the poems will be really weird and funny. They do not have to make sense, but surprisingly enough, many of them turn out to be quite lovely.

    can I skip one of my poems, because one of my recent poems breaks the rules.

      Aww... HECK! No, and I am sorry about that, but I can't bend the rules because it would cause this ship to sink in an ocean of willy-nilly poems.
