The short poem "Pattern" was written by a third-grade elementary school student, Ginger Elman, with only five short lines and no more than 40 words. The original poem is as follows:
Dad got up from the mat,
Covered with patterns of summer sleeping mats,
Soon these patterns came back,
On the mat,
Because they don't want to wander.
In fact, the content of this poem is very simple, that is to say, dad slept on a mat and got up covered with patterns, but when he woke up, the patterns disappeared. The last sentence "because they don't want to wander" implies an action that is easily overlooked by us. How can the pattern wander? How did you get back on the mat? It's just that my father woke up too tired and then lay down.
The writing of modern short poems
1. Use of language and artistic conception. As we all know, modern poetry has three obvious and concrete elements, namely language, artistic conception and rhythm. This shows how important language and artistic conception are to a modern poem. If you want to write a modern poem, these two factors are the first and cannot be ignored.
2. Grasp the rhythm and rhythm. Anyone who has been exposed to literature knows the meaning of rhythm. In classical poetry, rhythm plays a very important role. If there is no rhythm, or the rhythm is incomplete, then classical poetry cannot be called poetry, and even the best poetry will lose its value.
3, fresh and smart method. As we all know, poetry is composed of every detail sentence. Fresh and smart here refers to the expression and structure of sentences. There are many ways to form a sentence. In terms of expression, most individuals like to organize their language with their usual techniques and personalities, including procrastination, conciseness, freshness and elegance, triviality and verbosity, and differences in poetic level and style.
