To Those Who Write Poetry on Medium
A request
Dear poetry writers on Medium, I have a request.
I suspect I am not alone in finding it harder to read double-spaced poetry. Below are two verses from a poem I wrote recently, first without double-spacing and then with the default option. You can find the complete version here:
They say we all die twice
The second time is when
Our name is spoken one last time
Bill Duffy isn’t deadI’ll speak your name often
I’ll speak your name aloud
Farewell, old friend Bill Duffy
Bill Duffy, who isn’t dead.
This is how it would have looked double-spaced:
They say we all die twice
The second time is when
Our name is spoken one last time
Bill Duffy isn’t dead
I’ll speak your name often
I’ll speak your name aloud
Farewell, old friend Bill Duffy
Bill Duffy, who isn’t dead.
