How To Write Poetry

Posted on

Ideas for poetry arrive from something that happened at work. The last article you read from a newspaper. The thought of it makes you laugh. Allow your creativity to spin out a poem. Read poetry by different authors. Keep your mind alert to your surroundings. Soak-up images, details, for writing poetry.

    Haiku: What Is It?

    Haiku, hi-coo, is poetry from
    the Japanese culture.

    Let’s look at the classic form.
    The poem is three lines. Five
    syllables sit in line one, seven
    syllables in line two, and five
    syllables situate themselves in
    the last line.

    Traditionally, the theme is
    centered on nature.

  12. @xtremesports14 thats what you think, but what do you FEEL? ;-P

  13. it is insulting this and all the other videos on how to write poetry.
    i’m a scientist(apprentice)and i desiccate things but a poem and the art behind it?that is equal to getting who wrote the poem and lay him/her on a table, get a rusty blunt knife and start cutting him/her open just to understand who he/she is!
    i write poetry because i feel like it,i create films for me and top attack what i consider to be wrong.you all who think poetry is a science are wrong and i should kill you all for that

  14. @xtremesports14 That’s an interesting way of looking at poetry. Smiles.

  20. new poem
    Dead inside
    The sun is the scab on the sky
    I scratch the clouds until they bleed
    I am a piece of sand
    Floating in an empty space
    The rays of the star of the dead
    Are shining like a sunrise
    I watch the razor stealing heat from my skin
    Drops of blood scattered on the floor
    Like the stars in the night
    Turn off the candle
    And forget me

  21. My book, Piece Of Life, was published in 2007. I’ve always been a fiction and non-fiction writer, but enjoy poetry as well.

  22. I know you write poems, why can’t I read them? ( sigh) they are No Where!

  23. @TheHoneyShow I enjoyed the poem, thank you.

  24. The Mouse Fight

    I went to my house
    And saw a mouse
    Frightened I ran to my room
    and grabed a broom
    I whacked it and poke it then whacked it again
    thats when I had a big fat grin!
    Happily I walked to trow it away
    then went back to my room where I tiredly lay!

    —Sarah Tyannah McWhite—O-lay

  25. I agree, it just takes one person.
