CENTO POEMS CONTEST!!!...with a twist... ROUND ONE!!!

Welcome all to my first contest on this account. I've had many before/ don't ask.


I was looking at my poems just being bored and I saw this happen....

Let me examplize:

What Is Taken Leaves Me Shattered
The One To Let You Fall
As I Bleed From The Blade Of Your Words
As I Break In Your Behalf
Together We Shall Always Be
You Are What I Need


Now I am sure you know where I am going with this...


This is not a cento poem where you get lines from your own poem...

It's a cento poem where you get lines from the TITLES of your poemetry.

So go and hover your mouse pointer over "My Account" go down to "My Poems" click it and find what goodies you have stored for this contest!

Please make it a 7 lined poem. Meaning only 7 titles.

Title it what you wish.

I want emotion, I want darkness, I want pain, I want anything you're willing to conjure up.

2 entries per person

Have fun!

  • Mhm. This is a good idea. One I have issues with =P Because I have alot of one word titles.

    Can we combine titles into one line?

    • It would be best that each line be one title. Because there will be a second round. Another cento poem that's quite kool.

      If you want it could be a seven word sentence?

      As long as you have seven titles then I'm happy as a clam... However happy a clam could be...
