So with centos I could create artwork I like and fe ature other artists in the same. Field. It was a joy being on this creativ e journey. From May 28th 2023 to September 7th 2025 is circa two and a hal f years. Fifty two weeks in a year so\, 52+52+(52/2)  = 104+ 26=130 weeks . At two poems each week that is 260 poems. Not bad:)\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n C entos in overblog are from May 28th 2023 to November 17th 2024- sadly the results are not temporally aligned\, unlike AALBC. \n\n https://rmnewslet ter.over-blog.com/search/Cento/\n\n\n\n Cento List - enjoy the poetry from November 23rd 2024 to September 27th 2025 \n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/sear ch/?q=cento&\;quick=1&\;type=calendar_event&\;nodes=5&\;update d_after=any&\;sortby=newest\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Enjoy the 2023 Centos in ebook form\n\n https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/richard-murray-centos-202 3\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n AND HERE IS A GOING AWAY PRESENT\, the last of the Ce nto's I had listed.
