Language comes from life, and art is higher than life. Poetry, as a language art, must be higher than life. Conciseness is a virtue of poetry. Highly concise vocabulary and vivid expression can make your poems more concise and vivid.
Artistic conception is the soul of poetry, the blend of human feelings and scenery, and the sublimation and induction of many images in poetry. Strictly speaking, it belongs to both artistic and philosophical categories, and it is the most difficult to master in poetry. Only by reading more books and improving your artistic accomplishment can you write excellent poems with beautiful artistic conception and lofty realm.
Finally, talk about the rhythm. In my opinion, poetry is a rhyming text, which has always been the case. The so-called free body without rhythm once made the author scoff and think it was a fake poem. However, in the context of modern vernacular Chinese, we don't have to be too rigid in the flatness of meter and rhyme, and we don't have to put too much emphasis on suppressing rhyme. Today's training is very different from the ancient context. Coupled with the role of local tone, even tones have disappeared in modern poetry, but we still have to rhyme. Generally, rhymes are commonly used. We can download thirteen or six rhymes to browse and learn. As long as you seriously understand and strive for it, rhyme is not difficult to suppress. When the single rhyme is difficult to control, you can change the rhyme in time, otherwise you can bet on a wide rhyme, that is, two similar rhymes are mixed together, such as FAW and Gusu, Renchen and Middle East, and then you can say Yan Qian and Jiangyang.
Structural application of poetry
Of course, in addition to the above foundations, if you want to write modern poetry well, you need to master the following skills:
Application of single-line separator and inter-line separator
Sentence breaking is artificially broken into a coherent line to highlight some parts, such as "I love you", which can be broken into "I love you", and then into "cold melancholy". Cross-line, also known as lifting lines, is to split a coherent poem into two or more lines according to the needs of rhyme or rhythm. For example, "I love the warm sun in winter" can be crossed as "I love the warm sun in winter", and "The moon under the sky is yellow like a big steamed stuffed bun" can be crossed as "Under the sky/the moon is yellow/like a big steamed stuffed bun". No matter whether the lines are broken or crossed, those long sentences are separated, embedded in each poem, fluctuating with the rhythm and the emotional rhythm of the poem, which should be inconsistent with the poet's wandering or rushing literary thoughts, showing the prose beauty of modern poetry.
Second, the application of disjointed and blank lines
The most famous work about breaking off diplomatic relations is the poem "Subway Station" by American poet Pound, "The looming faces in the crowd/the petals on the wet and dark branches". In the two isolated images, the poet removes the association, which leads to the disconnection between the two. It is this disconnection that releases the imagination of the appreciators and gives them a broader space for thinking.
