  2. 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. https://rmnewsletter.over-blog.com/search/Cento/ Cento List - enjoy the poetry from November 23rd 2024 to September 27th 2025 https://aalbc.com/tc/search/?q=cento&quick=1&type=calendar_event&nodes=5&updated_after=any&sortby=newest Enjoy the 2023 Centos in ebook form https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/richard-murray-centos-2023 AND HERE IS A GOING AWAY PRESENT, the last of the Cento's I had listed.

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 https://www.deviantart.com/shouron/art/Stormy-Memories-1040951737 since our last argument... There's talk of me talking with you. https://www.deviantart.com/mysticalpoet/art/Two-Weeks-1042693009 accept defeat before anything could start but your rose perfume will one day become heavy promises that hang in the air.

While I'm wrapped up in thorns. https://www.deviantart.com/midn1ghtink/art/Sweet-Dreams-NaPo24-19-1043621741 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 https://www.deviantart.com/rtnightmare/art/PFP-Open-Theme-My-Truth-1043993797 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.
