How to write poetry for beginners

1. Find your own style that suits you

Many famous poets have their own distinctive style, just like everyone’s special temperament. This trait is like a kind of sign. Li Taibai's poems are always full of rich imagination. The sentence "Let's put the white deer among the green cliffs" is his style at first glance. As for the poet saint, it is the kind of "Anhui Guangsha thousands of buildings, The emotion of caring about the country and the people and taking the world as one's own responsibility.

So, you also need to find your own characteristics. This is very simple, just think about whose poems you admire most, basically this style is suitable for you, because most of the appreciation is due to your own cries. In addition, from my personal feeling, the style of writing and the feeling of poetry are somewhat similar to each other. Because traits are something that always follows you. No matter your language, actions, poems, or articles, they all reflect what kind of person you are to varying degrees.

2. Read, read, read

If you find your favorite style, then you must read the poems of this representative figure carefully and extensively. It is important not only to read poems, but also to see the evaluation and appreciation of the poems by other famous writers. It may even be more important than reading poems. It can be said that instead of reading ten poems by one person, it is better to read ten Comments from famous writers on one of the poems. Only if you improve your appreciation ability can you write good poetry!

People’s ability to imitate is very strong, and through a lot of reading, they will subtly become their own things. Speaking from my experience, I read Guo Jingming's books some time ago, and I felt that my writing experience would be similar to his. For another example, I watched the Korean drama "my?girl" again not long ago. I can't help but have that Korean accent. So you may not even notice that you are getting closer to your favorite style.

3. About taking notes

Taking notes is to record things that you think are classics, which is very useful. When I first started writing essays when I was a child, my parents and teachers always gave me homework to excerpt good words and sentences. I felt very disapproving of it at the time, so when it came time to hand in my homework, I lazily selected it from the "Bible of Good Sentences" that had already been selected. 》Choose the shortest sentence and do it perfunctorily.

Finally, excerpting a famous saying, Belinsky once said: "No poet can become great because of himself and his description of himself, whether he is describing his own pain or describing His own happiness. The reason why any great poet is great is that the roots of his pain and happiness are deeply rooted in the soil of society and history, because he is an organ and representative of society, the times, and human beings.

Rhythmic thinking

Characteristics of metrical thinking

Rhythmic thinking has three characteristics: restraint, imitation and habituation. .

1. Restrictiveness refers to the exclusivity of metrical thinking, which stipulates that when writing metrical poems, you can only write in strict accordance with the corresponding meter in the poetry genre, and no deviation from the rhythm is allowed.

< p>2. Imitation means that the poet writes based on the metrical thinking writing of a large number of similar ancient and modern works.

For example, in the reference book that introduces poetry creation, each type of poetry rhythm and word score are included in the writing. Some typical works are attached for comparison, which actually provide examples for learners to imitate.

3. Habituality refers to when the poet has reached a certain stage in learning to write in rhythm, that is, using it. After accumulating considerable experience in writing with metrical thinking, he will form a mindset that actively and quickly writes according to the metrical requirements corresponding to the chosen genre based on the content he wants to express.
