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.

     "Knock Knock" by Daniel Beaty  video  & lyrics
     "If I Should Have A Daughter" by Sarah Kay video  & lyrics

     "A Mother's Prayer For its Daughter" from Bossypants by Tina Fey audio & lyrics
