Make a Cento!

Let me give credit to Bekra for the original cento swap. Most of this swap is quoted from her cento swap.

Ok, so I just found out about this thing called a cento. Here's a definition for it.

"A cento is a poem composed entirely of lines taken from already published poems by different authors. The word "cento" means "stitched," and you can think of a cento as a verbal quilt made up of fabric (=lines) from different sources, sewn together. For a longer description of the cento and two lovely examples, see http://thewordshop.tripod.com/cento.html"-Bekra's original swap

I thought it would be cool if we got a swap started where we had to write 3 centos for 3 different partners. You can send them all the same cento or 3 different ones, that'll be up to you.

Your cento must be at least 5 lines. Try not to use an author twice or more than one line from the same poem. Don't change anything from the original line. And add a key where you explain what poem you borrowed from and the author. Maybe even include copies of the original poems.
