How to write poetry?

answers1: Poetry is thought and craft and idea, sometimes it seems
music and miracle. Poets have a many tools, rhyming, alliteration, and
repetition are just a few, and not always needed by the poem. <br>
<br>
You must read as much as you can and as many different styles as you
can, classic and contemporary; free verse and structured forms. Two
good anthologies: Staying Alive, Real poems for Unreal Times edited by
Neil Astley and Garrison Keillor's Good Poems. Two books on writing
that will help guide you are Mary Oliver's A Poetry Handbook and The
Poetry Home Repair Kit from Ted Kooser. <br>
<br>
There are many good sites on line where you can read poetry daily or
browse the archives: <br>
<br>
Academy of Americans Poets <br>
Poetry Daily <br>
Verse Daily <br>
The Writer's Almanac <br>
Ploughshares <br>
Rattle
answers2: I used to be in 6th grade while I began writing poetry. For
a few intent, I used to be going by way of a difficult time and that
day my "pal" used to be simply being terrible... so I went residence
and wrote a poem. It used to be bizarre since my mother proposal I
used to be dyslexic till I used to be like eleven (I used to not ever
learn). So that used to be relatively my intro to literature. I've
been studying and writing like loopy ever when you consider that.
Lately I have not been writing. I feel it is since for the primary
time in a even as, I'm glad. And I simply do not know the way to put
in writing glad stuff. I think like I have got to be unhappy to put in
writing... which sucks. I wish I can begin up once more, however I do
not know.
answers3: No one really knows what makes a piece of writing poetry. It
could be in proper sentence but expressing one thing only in a poetic
way. Using descripitive words, or little words at all: differen't
formates and big words. Poetry doesn't need to ryhme inorder for it to
be write. Just express what you feel, and everything will be alright.
