In the above four cases, metrical poems are poems written according to certain formats and rules. It has strict rules on the arrangement of lines, words, phonology, antithesis and sentence patterns. I also made a few cursory searches, and it seems that apart from the use of ancient poets in China and some modern western poets, there are few things that can be seen in modern China. Even if there are, the occasional times are mostly used at the opening ceremony of some large-scale activities to reflect the status of poetry, just as an unnecessary recitation. Generally speaking, people who are in an awkward position and can't reach the level of literary accomplishment don't want to listen. Even if they listened, they couldn't appreciate his beauty. They don't eat meat, nor do they eat meat. People with high literary literacy can appreciate it, but there are too few such people, especially in the field of poetry. I dare not say anything else, at least in modern China, such talents are a little fractured. Moreover, in foreign countries, there are not many shots that can be taken. I am afraid that only Sonnets is more representative. I chose a classic Shakespeare poem translated by Liang for your simple appreciation.
We need a lot of natural beauties,
Let the beautiful roses never fade,
But the blooming flowers will wither one day,
You should give your memory to a fragile heir;
But you, only with your bright eyes,
Feed yourself as fuel for the flame in your eyes,
It's too hard to fight against yourself,
Turn fertile land into wasteland.
You are now a fresh ornament on the earth,
It is also the only striker in Jinxiu Yangchun.
Why bury Fuyuan in the bud,
Gentle bitch, stingy, but save it?
Have pity on the world, otherwise, greedy husband,
Swallow a part of the world from you and the grave.
Compared with metrical poems, which have always been relatively unpopular, rhyming poems are obviously more popular. There are so many such poems that even a normal person with complete thoughts can sing so many poems. Isn't it just rhyming? Who doesn't know this? Just scribble a few words, then replace the last few words, and a "magnificent masterpiece" will come out, and then you can show it around with a little packaging. Not a show-off lie. I think many people have done this, even many famous poets have done this. I dare not say anything too arbitrary about this, because I don't like rhyming very much and I don't know much about it. But I still want to say more here. This is that rhyming is difficult to write, even difficult to write. So that it is second to none among the four squares divided above. My suggestion is that ordinary people had better not fiddle with it easily. You know, this rhythmic rhyme is sometimes poorly decorated, which limits the expression of too many emotions. For example, you could have been sick and moaned, but in the end you were sick and moaned. At that time, I could put on an old face and show it to others shamelessly. Besides letting others spray you, I will also make others laugh. Of course, there are also rhyme poems written by good poets. For example, I had the privilege of studying the works of Teacher Wang Guozhen. This doyen has a high experience and has been immersed in poetry for many years. The works are naturally not at the same level as those beautifully dressed. However, it is undeniable that the predecessors also have criticisms and personal opinions, all of which are criticized by ladies and gentlemen. I dare say this here. As for the famous works to be quoted, young people must have heard of a song by singer Vae Su Yan, and the word is Ang Yun. I think this is more popular and can represent.
Prose poetry and free verse are easy to distinguish for the old-timers, but it is actually difficult for the beginners to distinguish. Moreover, young people who have just started learning poetry have a problem. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers and don't like to accept other people's opinions, so that there are many literary friends around me who study poetry. When discussing the difference between the two, they sometimes argue fiercely, blushing and thick-necked. It's funny to say, but it's true, because both newcomers and old people regard their knowledge of poetry as sacred when they enter the field of poetry.
In fact, there is still a fairly appropriate judgment on the difference between the two. For example, prose poetry can start with the word "prose". Generally speaking, you can see the shadow of prose from poetry, or you can add something to poetry and turn it into prose. It doesn't require too bright rhythm, rhetoric is used more, poetic and picturesque, sentences tend to be narrative, and the language is more delicate. By enumerating these factors, we can basically find out prose poems from these two. As for the representative work, Mr. Lu Xun's prose poetry collection Weeds has a great influence, and I personally like Mr. Gorky's Haiyan.
Among the four types of poetry, the rise of free verse is a little late. Compared with prose poetry, it is the same, but it is also not limited by metrical rules and has no fixed format; The difference is that it pays more attention to the natural and internal rhythm, likes to use exaggerated rhetoric, and rhymes are similar or not. The number of words, lines, sentence patterns and tones are relatively free, and the language is relatively popular. Its starting point can be an elegant thing, such as bamboo and vase; It can also be a very common or even vulgar thing, such as a piece of shit. This style of poetry has always been liked by literary friends and is relatively easy to learn. Generally, poets who have a certain grasp of life can complete their products with a certain opportunity. Although I like this style of poetry, I seldom like the works of other poets of free verse, or it can be said that free verse is out of date soon, and the previous good works are nothing now, but today I saw a good article about "mother" in Poetry Magazine, so I would like to share it here:
I want to curl myself up into
The shape of the fetus
Reincarnate
Amniotic fluid is dry.
The blood is dry, too.
Why do I always laugh?
It was she who was injured.
When I really studied poetry, I first came into contact with rhyme poetry seven years ago. But because I didn't like the embellishment of rhyme, I liked prose poetry at first, and then I began to imitate it. In the process of imitation, I came into contact with free verse. It was a year or two before I came into contact with metrical poetry. To tell the truth, my experience in learning poetry is still relatively shallow, without the guidance of famous teachers. Metric poetry is not good, even very poor, so in the end.
I like poetry because there are some things in poetry that really touch the soul. I want to build a real and unreal world. These two worlds are essentially connected, but art must keep a proper distance from reality, just like taking the heart as a mirror, absorbing what is in reality and then reflecting it to reality to complete a meaningful practice.
The meaning of life is to speak your mind.
Some people always like to regard poets as synonymous with lunatics, which I think is unfair. Even I sometimes want to say that you are wrong! An excellent poet is not only not crazy, but also superior and taller than you, because every excellent poet has a sensitive heart. He is good at discovering beauty and pain. He is kind, he doesn't hurt people, and he has a pure heart, which is endowed by nature.
A flower can see a world, and a fallen leaf can interpret life.
I like poetry, I like reading poetry, I like writing poetry, I like the quiet atmosphere in the sun, and I like dissecting it with a scalpel. When every work comes out, I can clearly feel the pain and pleasure inside, so every word has my pulse and temperature. Poetry may not only be a problem for me, but also a kind of practice.
