10. (a) Write a Cento then a centino using Walt Whitman but thinking about Anselm Hollo. Combine them as one and then (b) send it in the mail to a friend with the instructions to cross out the five worst lines. (c) Keep only those five lines as a short poem.
Tips
* If you do not know what a cento is, then visit the library.
* Do not take your friend’s cuts personally.
* If the poem sucks, try it over and over until you succeed.
