The Cento (or collage poem) is "a poetic form composed entirely of lines from poems by other poets." In other words, the poem is itself a Wild Goose Chase, as I had to chase down other poets before I could create my own poem. Each of the poets

This was a fun idea that must have taken a lot of work. You executed it wonderfully and came up with your own interesting poem. I enjoyed this very much.
