Merging two stanzas from poems extracted from the collection of Poetry of the Spanish Civil War by Marilyn Rosenthal is an exercise that reflects the various ways of playing the webstruction game. 

A stanza from Stephen Spender’s “To A Spanish Poet”

Your heart looks through the breaking ribs –

Oiled axle through revolving spokes,

Unbroken blood of the swift wheel,

You stare through centrifugal bones

Of the revolving and dissolving world.

is intertwined with a stanza from Paul Eluard’s “The Victory of Guernica,”

They said to desire good intelligence

They rationed the strong judged the fools

Gave charity split a halfpenny in two

They greeted the cadavers

They overburdened themselves with politeness

alternating lines from each poem. 

The stanzas were taken randomly from the book and the result of merging the two is a webstructionized ‘grafted’ stanza using the above combination:

They said to desire good intelligence

Your heart looks through the breaking ribs –

They rationed the strong judged the fools

Oiled axle through revolving spokes,

Gave charity split a halfpenny in two

Unbroken blood of the swift wheel,

They greeted the cadavers

You stare through centrifugal bones

They overburdened themselves with politeness

Of the revolving and dissolving world.
