The knack of writing poetry

The knack of writing poetry

First of all, the picture of this poem

Appreciating a good poem is like appreciating a beautiful painting. With the help of words, it shows us an immersive picture, which makes us feel the ups and downs of our thoughts and feelings with the author.

Therefore, a good poem requires very high visualization, and the main feature of visualization is that it can't be "as straightforward as prose", but it should be told with images and pictures, and efforts should be made to achieve the picture feeling of poetry with pictures and poems.

Exodus: You are old when you are young.

Expressed in the language of poetry: I am not yet forty years old, but I look at the vastness, but my teeth are shaking.

Second, the meaning of poetry

Implication is often associated with artistic conception, the content is too shallow and straightforward, and there is no artistic conception. Works often lack appeal and become poetic limericks.

Therefore, a poet can't simply copy the original appearance of the objective world, but should find a more typical, refined and representative image to implicitly express the artistic conception you want to create.

It was spring when I left home, but it was already winter when I came back.

Expressed in poetic language: I am far away from the past, and the willows are reluctant; The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and people are thirsty and hungry.

Thirdly, the refinement of poetry.

Poetry can't explain everything as clearly as prose and novels. It can only find some of the most representative words to convey meaning.

Therefore, we should strive for a word of gold, get twice the result with half the effort, make people want it, and have endless words and meanings. Just like we seldom watch it.

Until a poem can finish the sentence and spit out the meaning.

Example: White clouds embrace secluded rocks, while green water is beautiful and clear.

Fourthly, the emotion of poetry.

A good poem is often a rich expression of inner feelings, while a poem is like the eruption of a volcano, expressing the author's surging feelings.

There are many poets who are tragic poems themselves. Sima Qian, a writer of Han Dynasty in China, once said that "there are 300 poems, probably written by sages in anger". It's hard to imagine that a person with a stagnant heart can bloom a poetic and fragrant flower in his heart.

Example: Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, once you see all the flowers in Chang 'an.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) poetic rhetoric

In order to write a good poem, the poet's imagination and association are essential. We should strive to "think for a thousand years and understand Wan Li", and at the same time make full use of rhetorical devices such as "Fu, Bi and Xing". Only in this way can we pour our rich emotions into objective things, which will be more powerful, profound and touching than direct expression.

Example 1: Like the strong wind in spring, it blows at night and blows away the petals of ten thousand pear trees.

Example 2: White hair and three thousands of feet, long sorrow.

Exodus 3: Candles bid farewell attentively and weep for others until dawn.

Sixth, the uniqueness of poetry.

Good poetry always expresses feelings through scenery. Wang Guowei said in "Words on Earth": "All scenery words are sentimental words". When we write poetry, we must first find the most distinctive features in the scenery, and then express our unique feelings. It is necessary to combine the two, blend scenes and express emotions through scenery, so as to enhance the artistic charm of poetry.

For example, thousands of miles of warblers sing green and reflect red, water villages are full of mountains, fruit wine flags, 480 halls in the south, and many towers are misty and rainy.

Seven, the requirements of poetry

Although we have mastered some basic skills in writing poetry, not everyone can write a good poem casually. Behind it is the author's depth of experience and knowledge. Therefore, on the basis of mastering these skills, we should enrich our knowledge base, practice hard and write our satisfactory works as soon as possible.
