Poem texts from the video

I write a line, The night is bright, The stars all shine, It feels all right.

The quiet streets release the light, A window holds the fading night, Each word I choose must find its place, And leave a little breathing space.

From a line to its structure

From voice to line. From line to voice.

Dictate the text. Record your own reading.

Is your thought faster than your typing?

Dictate a line in the editor: recognized speech becomes text. Review the result and keep working on your poem.
