#NaPoWriMo: A Poem A Day – Day 30
Hi everyone! Today is day Thirty of the national poetry month competition and the final day!
Here’s my offering >>>
DAY Β THIRTY:
[Instructions:] From NaPoWriMo Day Thirty β¦ Write a Cento. A Cento is a poem that is made up of lines taken from other poems.
Love Sublime
If ever two were one, then surely we
I do forgive thy robbβry, gentle thief
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
My heart has left itβs dwelling place
And the rocks melt wiβ the sun
Struck dumb I was
After all, thereβs no need to say anything
For verily love knows not βmineβ or βthineβ
I thank you, kind and best beloved friend
