This week on Next Line, Please, we have two new prompts for all to engage with.
1. Write two lines a day, starting today; recording each day your daily lines; and combining and recombining the 12 lines on Saturday, August 4. In the final product, feel free to eliminate a line, revise a line, or repeat a line to take the place of one that has been excised.
You may cheat. (Whatever that means. Wink!)
2. Write two-line poems—10 of them—on the theory that you may get one really good two-line poem per every 10 written.
Hint hint: Mix it up! Include an epitaph, a riddle, a joke, a quote, a definition, and at least one rhyming couplet. For reader’s ease, make each two-line poem a separate entry.
