The Cento series has gone on for a very long time.
The cento series was because I love to write poetry and share other artists work. So with centos I could create artwork I like and feature other artists in the same. Field. It was a joy being on this creative journey. From May 28th 2023 to September 7th 2025 is circa two and a half 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:)
Centos in overblog are from May 28th 2023 to November 17th 2024- sadly the results are not temporally aligned, unlike AALBC.

You don’t want to be too good at what you are doing.
Since it is probably just a discount brand anyway.
Especially for those working low-salary jobs.
Especially when one is constantly being bombarded
Some people can handle it, others cannot

And laughing in the
Winter's icy clutch on me,
Whispering of distant wonders

life is
a butterfly wing;
on my leg

cannot touch me

I'm a puddle; but...
I'm able to breathe...
For quite a long time
I'm so scared -
Of a total meltdown...
Into that deep, dark water...
I think I'm finally
On the shore, and...
I've found myself
https://www.deviantart.com/faythe1900/art/Tiny-White-Flower-103-1040755252
I see the clouds overhead
Where man would soon build
I know what's coming next
To cleanse my body and soul
Why dread what nature gives

since our last argument...
There's talk of
me
talking with you.

accept defeat before anything could start but
your rose perfume will one day become
heavy promises that hang in the air. I think for me

It feels so nice against the skin and
Showing off a dapper look and
Killing it with style.

Single body melts and reforms,
And give me my true name.
I can sense the world around you,
Of the stars living between us.

It is becoming a nice time of year.
Like back during pandemic times.
Time to enjoy a nice walk outside

Maybe this is just part of the tale,
But you wanted sleep.
While I'm wrapped up in thorns.

but as i stare at my reflection
so i know that even within the darkest hour
with no lies, no mimicry
how do we find our clarity
we search our whole lives for a promise we are never told

je leur enlèverais leur masque de miel
si j'étais de retour à la maison,
pendant que les moissonneuses faucheraient
me soufflent les fleurs écrasées sur le trottoir
que la campagne et son silence pesant
passer sous des arcs-en-ciel sans trésors
I would take off their honey mask
if I was back home,
while the harvesters mow
the flowers crushed on the sidewalk blow at me
that the countryside and its heavy silence
pass under rainbows without treasures
https://www.deviantart.com/whiteplumfragrance/art/Le-champ-de-tournesols-875941852
I agree i can be quite a bore
you crumble at the littlest, slightest touch
fighting to stay happy but the world says no
so why do i still keep going?
https://www.deviantart.com/dazzlinraven/art/I-am-broken-1042194680
With nary a ship or a soul
Our bodies had agreed upon.
With every slow, labored beat.

well, child,
would you believe
as you work hard
that one is out of order
and my job

She says, to God I suppose, but not our bodies.
We are supposed to be here for praying
my head, a brief nod of gratitude, before

Breath and body
Have nowhere to go
Too many holes

my poetic response
Title: The Griot replies to Troubadour PrinceofFire
Your song is part, while not too long
For Nimue, said, at a kong
Where the griot, I sing of, sat
Waiting while in a mudcloth brat
She spoke of a former knight, now king
Earn'd from four and one, to live fae-bling
White hair'd he dream'd, of one thing to be
To end the false legend, after he
He mourn'd after he was whisk'd away
The innocents burn'd or metal-slay
All the task was for a love felt far
Not from evil or deceptive tar
Yet, all he could do was shed tears
Year after year, from faulty fears
He earn'd one way into faelan'
None left in years or none human
Till the queen's sister saw a griot
A wise traveler and not a sot
She spoke to him of the faeking's fright
And his request before he lost sight
The griot laugh'd and accept the quest
A worthy addition to his jest
The Sky-king's court he will join one day
To join his loving hene and play
And, the griot left the sweet fae shores
To tell a foreign people true lores
And add to his own king-quest some tales
To sing a journey through all the vales

https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/If-I-only-had-1248257724
If I only had, a stem I could use
If I only had, I would step right in
If she didn't want! why is her skin smooth
And what makes my pulp, boil to sauce
while my seeds sing sooth
... if I only had
inspired by
If I didn't Care by the Ink Spots
