A poem that starts from two lines
This sheet starts from the scene of a fogged-over window and lets you carry a poem on from there.
Take the two lines as your first stanza, then write down whatever words come next.
How it works
- Read the two lines at the top out loud.
- Starting on the very next line, write whatever comes to mind.
- With several people, it's fun to take turns writing a line each.
- When you're done, read it once from the beginning. Even a short one is a poem.
When · with whom
Write it alone, or take turns with one or more people, a line each. It fits on a single sheet, so it feels light even for a first-time poet.
