AT WRITING
POETRY: 10 TIPS FOR
BEGINNERS
WWW.BUYCOLLEGEESSAY.ORG
POETRY! THE WORD ITSELF CONTAINS FASCINATION THAT
EXPLAINS DIFFERENT KINDS OF EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS
THROUGH BEAUTIFUL LINES WITH RHYTHM.
ACCORDING TO DEBASHISH MRIDHA,” GOOD POETRY
REVEALS THE BEAUTY OF JOY AND TRAGEDY.”
1 READ THE POEMS OF DIFFERENT POETS
Becoming a good poet includes determination in
finding new collections of poetry consistently.
Moreover, to expose yourself to new voices, you have to
read contemporary literary magazines.
TIPS FOR HOW TO BE GOOD AT
WRITING POETRY
2 DO EXPERIMENTS WITH RHYME
Simple rhyme schemes are generally our first
introduction to poetry as children, and we often create
our first poems with the help of a convenient rhyming
dictionary. Obviously, poetry is about much more than
rhyming, and considering how rhyme schemes are
included and structured may help you alter your
poetry.
3 TRY HANDS-ON DIFFERENT POETRY FORMS.
There are several types of poetry to choose from. If
you have a favourite sort of poem and consider it like
bread and butter for you, then it’s worth exploring
diverse poetry genres. Try to craft a haiku-like short
poem or other short poems. Playing with form may
help develop your poetry writing abilities and
discover new styles of poetry that suit your tastes.
4 RESEARCH NEW POETRY METHODS
The various literary strategies and poetic styles
available is the fascinating element of poetry.
Alliteration and assonance may be used to create
a range of sounds in your work. Extending
metaphors and using synecdoche or metonymy in
your writing may add levels of significance to your
work. Research different poetic strategies and try
to combine them into your poems.
5 MAINTAIN A JOURNAL
Poetry is an effective medium for utilising lyrical
language and presenting imaginative images.
Maintaining a journal might help you keep track
of particularly memorable pictures and thoughts
as they arise during the day. You might use your
free time to brainstorm and write down your
ideas in your poetry diary.
6 PRACTICE METER
In poetry, the manner of writing stressed and
unstressed syllables from line to line is called meter.
Testing with different meter forms in your poetry may
help add layers to your creation and keep the rhythm of
your poetry interesting. Try composing poems in iambic
pentameter, like Shakespeare did, or break up long
quotes of blank verse with a rhyming couplet or two.
7 TRY TO CHOOSE SIMPLE WORDS
You might have to use only conceptual phrases and
fancy language as a first-time poet to write detailed
poems and express the deeper meaning. The truth is
that sometimes the most basic words, paired with clear,
tangible imagery, may produce good poetry. To create
dramatic and compelling poetry, some of the finest
American poets employ concrete words and basic
language. You don’t need to depend on the thesaurus
to find the correct words for your poems.
8 ALWAYS DO EDITING OF YOUR POEM
Editing helps you in finding the best
poetry form. Give yourself some time
after you’ve written a copy of a poem
before going over it again and starting
the reworking process. It helps you in
knowing how to be good at writing
poetry.
9 IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE NO
RULES
In poetry, there are no hard and fast rules.
Allow yourself the freedom to experiment
with meaning and form in your poetry.
Don’t be afraid to try new things in your
composition, or don’t panic about the
final result. When you are unrestricted to
do work, you will produce some of your
greatest work.
10 BEGIN BY DOING WRITING IN A GROUP
Getting together with other poets to form a writing
group can help you commit to the hard work and
develop a continuous writing practice. A poetry writing
workshop or group might help you keep track of your
progress and overcome writer’s block. Writing groups
are an excellent way to meet other poets who can help
you connect with publication contacts and agents of
literature.
