Day 49 - Write a Self Cento
It’s Dr. Anna Percy here with Day 49 of the Daily Aftershock and a brand new prompt for you.You may have heard of the form cento in poetry. Traditionally, you borrow a line from a different poet for each line. But today, I’d like you to make a self cento, a cento made entirely from your own words.Use your own poetry, notebooks, text messages, Facebook statuses, Instagram captions, even a bit of a shopping list. The more unexpected and creative the source material, the more interesting the result.
