First Line Struggles

[Neil57]

Does anyone else spend more time on the first line than the rest of the poem?

[Cass82]

The first line is the hook. If it's weak, I don't trust anything that follows

[CMPunk02]

I do the opposite. I write the whole thing and come back to the first line last

[BiscuitTin]

Same. First lines feel like titles to me. They make more sense once I know what I actually wrote

[Luca73]

Good shout. Nice one.

[Piston]

Yeah that is about right. Every time without fail.

Proper useful that
