Poetry · spark, rhythm, draft
Draft spark
When you need to return voice to a text, project, or image.
Best when
- ✦ there is creative block
- ✦ tone must be chosen
- ✦ the project sounds lifeless
Not for
- • replacing discipline
- • endless search for inspiration
- • final editing
Core lines
Rhythm shows the speed of the text.
Image shows the scene's cover.
Repetition shows style.
How to read this scene
Find rhythm
Read the line aloud and note the tempo.
Choose image
One image becomes the first frame of the work.
Make a small draft
Write for 12 minutes. Do not evaluate.
Small practice
Take a line and begin a paragraph with it, but replace the last word with your own.
A deep format helps if you want to connect the sign with a brand, text, book, post, or visual series.
Journal prompts
- What rhythm does the project ask for?
- Which image do I see first?
- What can I write badly, but today?
