Let's talk about poetry writing based on Xu Zhimo's experience in writing poetry.
First, what is poetry?
What is poetry? Xu Zhimo believes that poetry is to find the true meaning in words, poetry is the sublimation of self-mind, and poetry is the product of life accumulation and friction! Poetry is a spiritual product that erupts at a certain moment of emotion!
But in theory, poetry is a literary form, a unique form of expression, with a profound background and valuable poems left by predecessors.
Different from novels, essays and other literary categories, Xu Zhimo believes that poetry infects readers with more essential words and the soul of poetry, while novels and television may infect audiences with the plot of the story.
No matter how the ancients and today's poems are defined, I think we are all looking for a real meaning, called poetry.
Second, why did you choose to write poetry?
Why do you write poetry? The answer is different. Some people say that because they like it; Some people say that because of loneliness; Some people say that writing poetry is faster and shorter than writing novels;
Some people say it is a habit; Some people say that it is their own pursuit, answering all questions, but the purpose is the same, writing poems, writing good poems!
So today I'm going to talk about why I write poetry.
Xu Zhimo believes that, first of all, writing poetry is also a need. There was a poet who began to doodle when he was young. That was in junior high school. She watched the sunset and found beauty.
At that time, she was addicted to Xu Zhimo's Biekangqiao and Dai Wangshu's Rain Lane. I howled with my broken palm, so she liked the expression of poetry.
She often smears her feelings and betrayal on paper and expresses them in a paragraph called a poem. Gradually formed a habit, smearing from time to time!
Later, due to life reasons, I forgot poetry several times, and even did not read, write or pay attention to it for several months.
But when she is in high spirits and lonely, whenever there is a spiritual gap, she will still pick up a pen and write down her feelings in the form of poetry until today.
At present, it can be said that poetry has become a part of our lives, which is exactly what someone said earlier, because of loneliness, so writing. It can be said that poetry is lonely, poets are lonely, and poetry belongs to a few people.
When we come to a strange city, we gradually get to know him and get close to him, and it is inevitable that there will be new touches.
At the same time, in a strange city, far from home, away from relatives and friends, only loneliness accompanies us, so I write poems when I am lonely.
In the process of writing poetry, we began to pursue height, the height of poetry. Therefore, for this height, poets write poems every day just for climbing.
Third, what should poetry write?
Many people are often confused about what to write in poetry. Indeed, I often ask myself, what do you want to write, what do you want to write, and why do you write this? Countless reasons, but I still insist on writing.
Xu Zhimo believes that when we read other people's works, we always look for ourselves, our feelings and our life in other people's works. If we can find our own, it will have an impact on this work.
Xu Zhimo thinks: write words, write life, and write my truest feelings about life!
For me, I stand on the land where I live, and I can only write the words around me. I can't make up beautiful words.
As an old writer once said to his wife: "When a woman gives birth to a child, it is what is in her stomach. I write articles, but I don't have that thing in my stomach. If I want to write, it is definitely more difficult for me than you. "
Giving birth to a child is painful, so is writing, but after the pain, we will experience unprecedented happiness. Therefore, I will write about my own life and my truest life feelings!
Fourth, how to write a poem?
This is the biggest puzzle that we can't get out of poetry. How to write a good poem? For many people, those who write poems are not Chinese majors.
Let alone study professional poetry writing, but it's not necessarily bad not to study. There is a saying, is it innocent to know? It is because we don't know, so we can apply it. Without dogma and format, then we really write our own things.
What Xu Zhimo thinks he wrote, if it is more artistic, how can it make others think it is a good work?
I think this is a problem that needs to be viewed from a height, so I can't tell myself that I should keep reading, writing, practicing, learning from others' Excellence, absorbing the essence to fill myself, and at the same time, I should innovate and explore myself and experience myself from different angles.
In short, if you want to write a poem well, you must keep reading and accumulating.
Go out more when you can, in different environments and different moods.
Xu Zhimo is like this, inspiring different inspirations, thus writing his innermost words and writing his best poems.
