INTRODUCTION:
A simple step by step ewcercise on writing a good, written poetry foryoung and old alike. It will interest you to know that I have employed this method of application for years to achieve the good poetry results. There are other method of exercises and with the combining step by step application I have added in this book in it is the simplest form to get the result for beginners who often find that their poetry are not good enough to be accepted in an anthology, school magazines, poetry contests and rejections and so forth.. The effect of that one negative answer from the editor's office will remain in their minds for days.
Students, Teachers and others who love reading poetry may find this book entertaining and helpful in their understanding, the method employed and is useable in their professions.
My method of application is approachable in two ways. Firstly, it will bring out the best of each and their work in poetry. Second, your poem will sound much mature and better to your ears, more meaningful with all the zest of that poems you wished to write but could not --- because you are lacking in something.
Read through the guided steps, one at the time and try to understand the method thoroughly. Then try them all-out, and very soon you will have that expressive, beautifully written verse that you could call your own and no one else. And lastly your readers will derive the pleasure, and benefit after reading your written piece.
WRITE THE POEMS THAT YOU WOULD LOVE TO READ IN A POETRY BOOK.
YOUR DESIRE to write a poem comes from your love to express your feeling about something, someone or about anything ,that you wish to express your words in poetry in your own way and in your own style. The word 'style' is an expression of things we know to be catchy in every generation, be they the new hairstyle and the clothes they wear. Each generation has their own style, and each person has their own style of doing it, and especially so in writing poetry.
But sometimes the words you write in your poetry just do not come out right? They sounded very different from what you want them to be. "It's just sounded very different, and I wish I could write better than this." Or "How I wish I could write like you!" My advice to you is, DO NOT DESPAIR!
My approach for that your desirable line of poems is simple and understandable that within a few minutes after you read through them , your strength of imagination would bring out that poetic genius in you...
HERE is the step by step method.
This procedure will brake the ice with your written poetry-- that will give the headstart in your exciting poetry writing. Reading through from this simple step I have work out will help you in your writing career. Your will have the access to some of the great works, and their methods of employment. And lastly that writing a poetry would not be that difficult and unmanageable. In fact it will brushed aside your labor of difficulty and to start right away, without a flaw.
The knowledge and skill I often used to begin writing my poetry are my successful key to a good poem. In fact if you know the secret of this you too could succeed as a poet. And I hope that this book will benefits you and the writer in you to express words that only you have the style in your own way.
STEP ONE:
MAKE your sentences simple. (We are talking about writing our poem in Free Verse, closing all other traditional poems aside at this moment.) Write out all that you want to write about, in prose.
For example:The painting on the canvas at the gallery I saw was a beautiful scenery. I was captivated for the variety of colors used by the artist. The painting was of a country scene of far away land in Asia painted by an uknown artist. Here you have five easy sentences in prose that describes a painting on a canvass at the gallery. It had captured your interest, your imagination and you want to write something out from it. And you wish to express it in simple FREE VERSE.
FROM the 'first sentence' we could group each word gramatically into---the noun, the verb, object noun etc. We leave out the preposition, the adjectives, the adverbs for a simple matter of category.
The first sentence is - The painting on the canvas at the gallery I saw was a beautiful scenery.
HERE how it should looks;
NOUN+VERB+OBJECT.
For the noun we have--- I, painting, canvas.
For the verb to be are--- saw, is.
For the object we have---scenery.
COULD you write down from the above sentence into poem? Yes, you could. There are other alternate grammar structures to suit your style.
And whichever way you choose ---N+V+O; O+V+N; V+O+N.....and so on.
HERE is an example --- O+V+N--- scenery+saw+I.
(You might think that this is a nonsensical phrase, and it seems to be, but with the help of our imagination we could develop it into a poetic lines. Let's continue with our great work...)
NOW is the correct time to ADD in all the prepositions, and the adjectives for that smooth form. This calls for an imagination. And for this use I prefer the beginning of the first stanza with the preposition 'of' and which will give us this wonderful poem---
Of the scenery + beautiful + I did saw + from the canvas + at the gallery.
AND that will give us this poem --- Preposition 'of' --- Of the scenery
Add in the adjective --- beautiful
ADD in the verb and pronoun --- I did saw
Add in the preposition and noun--- from the canvas.
You have done it. BUT WAIT! Couldn't you add more life to this poem..... And with your imagination still running wild. We now go on to step two.
STEP TWO.
YOU could add (in brackets) more suitable phrases into the first stanza; Of the (living) scenery beautiful (to the eyes) (and feelings,) I saw (melting) from the canvas.
SO here we have a complete stanza in 'Free Verse.' Of course there are other forms of phrases that are suiatable --- but beware. You might just get carried away! If you think that you still want your words added into the first stanza, then make it suitable that would fit in like a King to the Throne!
AVOID words that give no additional meaning and which will only clouded your verse.
LET'S Read again the poem; Of the living scenery beautiful to the eyes and feelings, I saw melting from the canvas
AND there you have it? Your first stanza that would give the start of interesting lines to follow afterwards. This is only the beginning of your more major works in the future. This is only an example of an ordinary poem derived from your narrative prose.I am certain you have a lot of interesting things to write that is happening everyday around you.
Just jot down all the interesting parts of events. We do not want a dull and boring poetry because there are too many of them around.
SO do not write all that are too ordinary and dull subjects if you do not want to have a dull and boring POEMS.
Please remember this! It is because your readers might just throw away your hard work. It is a pity that many individuals who could have been a potential good writer should have their articles ended up in the wastepaper basket.
TAKE your time to consider your choice of words? This is as true as drawing a straight line from one point to another. You have all the time in the world to do just that. And your poetry would be better as near as perfection.
Practise, practise and more practise.
Practice writing one simple poem using the technique you have just learn.
GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE! Write from your own personel experiences, from your own everyday conversations, from the many letters you send out to friends. Think about the great achievement of writing one simple good poem from them, that in later days to come those who might read your written pieces would be elevated and found enjoyment in it.
And perhaps one good source in obtaining your good, basic idea of writing a poem is from your own written essay in your school works.
DO TRY THEM ALL OUT! This is a good advice from a good founded imagination..'
LET us now go back to the practise, carry on our steps a little further on.
STEP THREE:
WITH our imagintion still beaming somewhere in our heads, there are still certain words from the passage that we could use and utilized.
The words are--- 'at the gallery' --- which is from the first sentence of STEP ONE of which we have left out.
WE want to use this phrase for the opening of our second stanza. And which should read as follows-- at the gallery.
By using the V+O+N ---
captivated+variety of colour+I
And with an imagination it is simple now for the above phrases to appear as this:
We add the verb and the noun --- My eyes captivated
We add one conjunction ---
by its color in varieties
We add the object noun --- I am not the art
AND so we have just completed another stanza. If we add the two stanzas together we do have one splendid piece of poetry at our hands.
Of the living scenery beutiful to the feelings I saw melting from the canvas . My eyes were captivated by its color and variety; I am not art
(DO ADD THIS PHRASE) Nor the Artist.
"Goodness me! Is this poem written by you?" Someone might ask. And so it will be the beginning of all that wonderful feeling of success! The next step is for you to write more?Follow the steps carefully, one by one, you are on the beginning of something great.
Try out on your own to write for the third stanza. It derives from the last sentence of the example given earlier on.
The sentence is: --- 'The painting was of a country scene of a far away land in Asia painted by an unknown Artist.'
POINTS TO REMEMBER:
REMEMBER--- to divide the different part of grammar into separate groups.
REMEMBER--- to use the diverse point of writing structure as shown in step one.
