Experiment: Lift-A-Line

This is a notebook entry style you can do again and again.  Just lift any line or passage from any text, including your own notebook entries, and write it at the top of a fresh page in your notebook. Then write for 15 minutes and watch the sparks fly!

Here are some great spoken word poems sure to burn some lines across your notebook pages.
 
     "Maskless" by Miles Hodges video & lyrics
     "Knock Knock" by Daniel Beaty  video  & lyrics
     "If I Should Have A Daughter" by Sarah Kay video  & lyrics
     "When Love Arrives" by Phil Kaye & Sarah Kay video & lyrics
     "A Mother's Prayer For its Daughter" from Bossypants by Tina Fey audio & lyrics
     "Origin Story" by Phil Kaye & Sarah Kay video & lyrics

Please share any spoken word poems you find that will help your fellow writers in the comments below.

(I first learned this from Penny Kittle at her ICTE 2013 Keynote.)
