Let\u2019s Explore \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly is about grammar. I think everyone especially those from the literature department knows the word \u201cgrammar\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you write poetry, you don\u2019t really have to follow any rules, even when it comes to rhyming.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example: A A B B (below)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should I do\u00a0 A
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0When I love two?\u00a0 A
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When I am with one, for the other I long B
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I can’t find a place for my heart to belong B
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compare to this one A B B B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes so difficult<\/strong> A<\/strong>
For us to understand<\/strong> B<\/strong>
The wisdom and the love behind<\/strong> B<\/strong>
The things that God has planned<\/strong> B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll see your rhyming and personal style come to life because everyone has their own unique way of writing poetry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not attempt to imitate other poets but try instead to develop your own style.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As T.S. Eliot put it,\u201dRhymes don\u2019t have to be forced\u201d. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when you force a line in a poem, everyone will be able to tell especially those who want to help you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need tools such as a dictionary or a thesaurus to help you learn new words and how to use them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we want to write a sentence than we ask our self whether is it a sentence or not.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally a simple sentence contains Subject + Verb. This is a stereotype for the students because it\u2019s a foundation of learning language. But poetry is different from the basic grammar. You don\u2019t have to pay strict attention to grammatical rules okay.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you know when you write from a word to a phrase then a sentence and there you are, poetry is quite different from other written forms. That\u2019s why you shouldn\u2019t pay too much attention to literary rules.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last is about sentences arrangement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you have to arrange each word, phrase and sentence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s do it<\/strong> ….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(face, moon, sad, miss, pretty, queen\/king, love\/hate)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Your face, crescent moon, pretty king\/boy , miss you)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I let you decide if you want to play around with different a different order; a rhythm you want or add or subtract lines. No problem at all)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations if you have made it your own way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep writing and I hope to read your poem soon<\/strong> ^_^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
