First, poetry is close to life, from small to large.
Artistic creation comes from life. Therefore, writing poetry must proceed from life, which has certain practical significance. Poetry is the catharsis of people's feelings, and poetry without feelings cannot be called poetry. Because poetry is close to life, there is no need to pursue how gorgeous the language of poetry is. As long as the idea is profound and unique, even the most plain language can achieve good results. For example, the note written by American poet Williams:
I have already eaten.
Put it in a certain position
In the fridge.
plum
they
It could be you.
keep
Breakfast.
Please forgive me.
They are so delicious.
So sweet
It's too cold.
When you see this poem, do you think it is a poem? This is obviously an ordinary message. Yes, poetry can actually be spoken in this way. You can sort out your articles and feelings in the form of poems, and then it becomes a poem. It's just that the depth of such poems varies from person to person. If Williams' Notes is arranged as "I ate plums in the refrigerator. They may be your breakfast. Forgive me, they are so delicious, too sweet and too cold. " It doesn't mean anything, but I want to arrange it and leave a lot of thoughts.
Therefore, when you write a poem that others don't look like a poem and say that your language is very white, you don't have to care, because they don't know how to appreciate your work. In fact, only the poet himself can truly understand the feelings in the poem. So, write poems boldly and be a poet of life!
Second, poetry is free from vulgarity, leaving room.
There is no requirement for the language of poetry, but a good poem should be refined, even if your language is colloquial, as long as it is concise, the best effect can be achieved. Some people who think they know a lot about poetry will say that such a common language is also called poetry. In their view, the language of poetry is gorgeous, but they don't know that poetry is condensed. For example, everyone is familiar with a poem "Far and Near" from Gu Cheng:
you
Look back at me.
Watch the clouds later.
I think
You looked at me from a distance.
You observe the clouds up close.
This is a very classic and wonderful poem. In just 26 words, this poem vividly expresses the poet's complicated feelings. Judging from the language of poetry, it is the most plain text, but why did it become a good poem after Gu Cheng's hand? There is a simple reason. Its language is very refined. It can be said that you can't change a word, as long as you change a word, it will be tasteless. This is the refinement of poetic language, not the gorgeous rhetoric that some people say. In fact, the language of poetry is very simple, that is, can you change a word in your poem? As for the jumping of poetry, I believe everyone knows that the reason for jumping is to create multiple images, and only poetry with images has vitality and charm. Needless to say this.
Third, the method of prose poetry creation
For prose poems, perhaps everyone has formed a fixed view in their hearts, that is, prose poems are all poems with gorgeous language, beautiful language and rich aesthetics, and they are all small and elegant, dense and inseparable styles. In fact, this idea is wrong. Prose poetry is also a form of poetry, which is the same as the poetry creation mentioned above. Just to write a good prose poem, we must know that "the form is scattered but the meaning is not scattered", which is the same as "the form is scattered but the spirit is not scattered" in prose.
1, oxymoron
Contradictory rhetoric is the best and fastest way to write prose poems. So what is "oxymoron"? First of all, literally speaking, "oxymoron" is a contradictory thing, that is, combining originally contradictory words or words and sentences to form an originally contradictory but unexpected effect. You still don't understand this. For example.
For example, "a strange and familiar person" is the simplest "oxymoron". Since it is "unfamiliar", it can't be "familiar", but why put them together, because it will leave a lot of ideas for readers. "What causes familiar people to become strangers" or "How do strangers become familiar?" And many reverie. There are many such poems, such as "The scorching sun is as cold as winter". It can be said that if you don't put this sentence in prose poetry, it is nonsense, nonsense. Because it is a prose poem, it brings readers endless thoughts. "Why does the author feel cold on a hot day?" This is worthy of readers' deep thinking. Here are some sentences: "Darkness in the night is brighter than light", "Darkness in the light is darker than night" and "Life is like a cup of tea, the more you cook it, the colder it gets".
2. Image density method
"Image density method" can be said to be the blood of prose poetry. The key to a good prose poem lies in your "image density method". So what is "image density method"? As the name implies, "image density method" is the number of images in a prose poem. So how many images does a good prose poem need? This question depends on the specific situation. Everything should be measured, not the more, the better. Grasping a certain "image degree" is the most critical.
Both ancient literati and modern poets attach great importance to the description of images. For example, "Tianjingsha Qiu Si" by Ma Zhiyuan, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, which is familiar to everyone:
Dead vines, old trees, faint crows,
Small bridges and flowing water.
The ancient road, the west wind and the thin horse,
The sun went down,
Heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
This poem uses ten * * * images such as "withered vine", "old tree", "faint crow", "small bridge", "flowing water", "affection", "ancient road", "west wind", "thin horse" and "sunset", which have been enriched in classical poems. The poet combines these images completely naturally, which is nothing special, but it can give us a beautiful enjoyment and a deeper charm. The last sentence is the key, the sublimation of the previous image and the aggregation of the whole poem. Another example is "Walking on the Good Morning" written in the Tang Dynasty: "The cock crows in the Maodian Moon, and people are covered with frost." The poet also used six images: the sound of chickens, Maodian, the moon, travel, Banqiao and first frost. Therefore, when writing prose poems, we must pay attention to the combination of images and grasp the density of images. You can combine related images, irrelevant images, past and present images in your life. In short, regardless of the difference between horizontal and vertical images, poetry is the best as long as the image density is moderate.
3. Spatial correlation method.
Some people say that poetry is expensive in implication, but it is not. If poetry is really implicit, some flavors will not come out. It's best to "have something to say, say everything". In fact, these are all related to association, and writing poetry should be related to the past and the present. The so-called "spatial association method" is to make reasonable association, not to imagine it out of thin air. Association is closely related to image density. For example, if you meet someone you once met on the road, you can make a series of reasonable associations: "Why I met her again", "Why I met her here", "Why she was the only one", "Why no one else met me" and "Why I didn't forget her". If you see a stone on the playground and trip over it, you can associate it with: "Why did I see a stone instead of a brick", "Why did it only trip over me", "Why is this stone on the playground" and "Why did I see this stone".
To sum up, poetry creation is something that everyone knows. As long as you understand life, you can write good poems regardless of your language, gender, educational level and major. I hope some of the above viewpoints can help your creation, give yourself a world of poetry, write with your heart, and be confident in poetry. I believe you can do it.
