First: the title of the poem.
The title of a poem is generally the soul of the whole poem, which needs careful refinement. It can also be the internal main line of poetry, similar to the theme of the novel. Of course, the title of the poem can also be a simple code, and the content of the poem is relatively rich. Here, it is not recommended to encode the title of the poem.
Second: the length of poetry.
Generally speaking, there is no strict limit to the length of poetry, which can be as long as several lines or even hundreds; It can be as short as a few lines or even a few words. However, poetry itself has a certain language tension, which should be determined according to the language tension and cannot be shortened or extended at will. It should be decided according to the tension of poetic language, not too much, neither of which is a good choice.
Third: the conception of poetry.
Poetry itself can have no intention or intention, but it depends on language and skill to decide whether it needs intention. Strictly speaking, the conception of poetry is different from that of novel, but we can also refer to the conception of novel to give the conception of poetry. The concept of poetry is not as strict as that of novels. The concept of poetry is just a clue. If we want to talk specifically about the conception of poetry, we can't make it clear, because poetry can only be understood, let alone written theoretical textbooks. Specifically, the conception of poetry is an instant thing. When the sentence of a poem is formed in your mind, the idea has already been produced, and only a few words or words may be produced. However, it is these words or words that follow the idea.
If you have to make your ideas clear, you can refer to the idea of the novel to decide; However, it depends on the title of the poem. The title of the poem itself is the center around which the poem revolves. Therefore, the title of a poem can be simply considered as the intention of the poem.
Fourth, the language of poetry.
The language use of poetry is quite complicated, so here are only a few key points. The language of poetry requires refinement and tension, which is called short and pithy.
Answer: master the temperature of the language. The so-called language temperature is to master the language requirements of poetry itself, not to overdo it, not to exaggerate the theme, not to vent it wantonly, but it is also indispensable, not to compress the theme and not to suppress it.
B. There is an inner sense of music. Musical sense means that a poem written should be catchy, can be sung in the form of singing, the language should be beautiful and refined, and it should not be sloppy. A good poem can be directly composed and sung by a singer.
C. There must be internal tension. Tension is the elasticity of poetry, which, like the elasticity of novel language, cannot be too long or too short. As for the length of the poem, it should be decided according to the conception of the poem, and it can't be delayed.
If poetry is compared to a river, no matter how it flows, the river always flows inside the river bank and will never overflow like the river bank. Prose is not. You can completely drown the banks, or you can just flow in the river bank. This is the relative difference between poetry and prose. Therefore, poetry is a river, a river that never overflows.
Fifth: the skills of poetry.
The skill of poetry is the most complicated thing, but generally speaking, the writing of poetry and other styles basically goes through three stages, namely: 1, the stage of stream of consciousness, that is, the pure consciousness of mobile creation, writing whatever comes to mind, a writing method without rules. 2, the use of various skills, outline stage, that is, according to their own writing intentions, ideas and ideas to choose their own writing methods to create, generally engaged in writing people can see their writing intentions, and have a clear main line, as well as accurate ideas, is a routine similar to the creative stage of reading road signs on the road. 3, the ego-free stage, that is, you have mastered all kinds of skills, you can create without outline, and similar skills follow you in the stage, similar to the stage of flying freely in the sky, you have mastered all kinds of skills, you don't need to find any skills, and the skills are naturally unnatural.
However, no matter which stage is inseparable from the word skill. However, the skills of poetry are a little more complicated than other styles, but they are also similar to other styles.
One of the skills of poetry: rich imagination
Imagination plays an extremely important role in poetry creation. In a word, "you can be a good novelist, philosopher or political scientist without rich imagination, but you will never be a good poet". This sentence is true, but there is another sentence: "Poetry comes from nothing". Of course, poetry is not nonsense, it just shows the image of poetry creation and the embodiment of its imagination.
Rich imagination is one of the indispensable skills of poetry creators and plays an important role.
For example, the following poem:
My loneliness is a snake,
Silently,
In case you dream about it,
Oh, don't be afraid.
Poetry itself is nothing, but after using imagination, it gives people a good feeling. "My loneliness is a snake" is a clever sentence. With imagination, "loneliness" and "snake" are interlinked. The habit of snakes is to like dark and humid places and live alone, which is really like "loneliness". This is imagination. Be reasonable, you can't say "My loneliness is a sheep". The habit of sheep is not to live alone, but to live in groups, so it is unreasonable to use it here.
The second skill of poetry: synaesthesia, illusion and montage
The so-called synaesthesia is the transfer and affectation of feelings, that is, the transformation of human feelings from vision to hearing and from smell to touch, that is, synaesthesia. Of course, feelings can be transformed at will, but we must also grasp a principle, that is, rationality.
Illusion is the change and disorder of intuition, and it is a means to realize its artistic creation with the help of the disorderly external form of truth. In other words, it is a means to achieve the purpose of poetry creation with the help of intuitive confusion.
Montage is the combination of image jump and hyperspace picture, that is, space and time, as well as feeling and image jump.
For example, the following poem is mutually acceptable.
nickname
in the countryside
Go out for a walk
I can meet some nicknames.
Nickname is a very common bird.
Especially at dusk.
Xiaoming flies all over the mountain.
My nickname has something to do with stones.
Stones have been lying in this country for thousands of years.
And I'm far from the countryside.
The nickname was blocked by the bending of the mountain.
Can't fly through the mountain gate
In the city.
Accustomed to the sound of reinforced concrete.
Go home occasionally
Always nickname number one.
It flies from the smile of relatives.
Riding with a local accent
My eternal childhood hangs on my wings.
Poetry itself uses a variety of techniques, here is mainly about synaesthesia? Hallucinations? Montage, the phrase "nickname is a very common bird" uses synaesthesia. Nicknames are invisible things, but here they become birds. Obviously, they visualize nicknames and turn hearing into vision.
The Third Technique of Poetry: My Retreat
My withdrawal is the withdrawal of the author and the withdrawal or hiding of the theme. In other words, there is an author in the poem, but the figure of the author no longer appears. We can't see the author, but the author still exists. That is the embodiment of "I think, therefore I am".
For example, the following poem, Kuang Guotai's "One Day" group poem "Not yet: The Eagle Catches the Chicken"
"The eagle has a chicken!"
The little tree panicked,
Many feet jumped up and fell down.
"What's the panic?"
The ancient camphor tree in front of the village muttered and took off his socks.
Take the roots of generations,
Put your hand into the stream and wash it.
There is no author in this poem, but we clearly know that the author is nearby.
The fourth skill of poetry: adding plot.
The so-called plot cohesion is to add a plot to a poem, just like the plot of a novel. However, the plot of the poem is not complete, and the plot of the poem is only a fragment or a scene. Poetry is the most taboo to add a complete story, which is easy to cause procrastination and carelessness.
For example, the following poem, give up the wind.
The forest was silent before the wind blew.
Sunlight and clouds in front of the wind
It's easy to be ignored, as if they didn't.
Necessity of existence
People who walked through the forest before the wind blew.
Is a person without memory.
hermit
We won't know until the wind blows.
It is the winter wind that blows harder.
Or is the wind stronger in summer?
I haven't been to that forest for years.
I went there after the wind blew.
This poem adds a plot, which makes it easy for people to imagine a person walking through the forest in their minds. Therefore, the so-called increase in the plot is to increase the plot, but the plot is only fragmentary and scene-like, not the whole story and the whole scene like the novel.
The fifth skill of poetry: the skill of forgetting.
The skill of forgetting is the final stage, the stage of skillfully using various skills, and the skill similar to flying in the sky. It takes time to hone and improve writing skills.
All right, that's it. We're done talking. I hope I can help you.
I hope everyone can learn to write poems. The more poems you can write, the better.
Finally, let me say a few words.
1, about writing, of course, in any subject, life is the best treasure house and life is the foundation.
2, for the writing of poetry, we should read more, think more, practice more and experience more of our own language.
3, poetry writing is a bitter thing than any subject matter, to endure loneliness and loneliness, to think more, to experience their own words.
