“Write between the lines
: Copy down a poem line-by-line, leaving some blank space between each line. Read the first line of the poem only, then stop, then write your own line in response, using the space you left just below. Then read the second line of the poem, and write your own line in the space below. And so on until you’ve reached the end of the poem. You might find that your lines mirror or otherwise respond to the poem’s setting, tone, or syntax: all fine. There’s no wrong way to write between the lines.”
