Writing poetry is an art that is learned through practice, opening the mind and heart, and letting inspiration flow in the moment like it's your breath


What is poetry?

If we think of a poet surely come to mind images of an eternal dreamer, who spends hours talking in rhymes and mostly about abstract concepts, emotions and feelings. But this is a stereotype not entirely appropriate: poetry, as a profession, is a drafting technique that can be achieved by having good feet on the ground and the mind of the harsh reality.

Poetry is a writing or speaking of an essay, prepared according to certain structures. It is said that the poet is the only writer able to find the beauty and magnificent even in the most absurd situations, and how this defines a pretty good job. 
To write poetry is necessary to have a deeper insight, analysis the reality that surrounds us, to invite her in a somewhat special way.

Types and structures

Poems can take many different forms. Perhaps the best known is that of writing poetry, short sentences divided grouped into stanzas, rhyme or maintaining a universality between them. In a quartet conventional, for example, a resonant rhyme (ie, the last word of each sentence remains the same phonetic or sound) between the first and the fourth sentence, and between the second and the third remains. In a sextet , for example, may have a stanza rhyme between the first and sixth, second and fifth, and the second and third sentences.

But it may also be of asonantes rhymes : the writing is divided into short phrases, organized into stanzas, unfulfilled model or store musicality and rhyme with each other. Here are the current, modern and avant-garde poetry, where the beauty premium and the impact of content rather than resonant capacity.

How to write a poem

You just need to want to do, put your concentration and dedication to, and get to work.

Choose the type of material you want to compose : in prose and verse, in the form of sonnet, couplet, oda or another, and the length that you want to have (the number of stanzas). Next, think about the theme you want to develop : be inspired by the world around you, because poetry has no limits when choosing your muse.

Then, without more, start typing . If you definitely do not know, just write the story you want to tell, that assessment on a tiny part of our environment. Divide written in short sentences, about seven words or less if possible, and ends by dividing quotes and separated into stanzas, as if it were full stops, trying to respect the forms and structures of poetry you've chosen to do.

Finally, if you want to make a poem in verse, discusses the end of each sentence and make the necessary changes to rhyme. A thesaurus will be of great utility, in order to organize the words by phonetic and achieve musicality of each verse without losing consistency in the sentence.

Read over and over the material, making sure they understand perfectly, it causes the necessary impact, and you are not forced any stanza only provided that rime. Repeat this exercise a few times, and on different days, because every moment is special. You see that with each reading will occur to you new ways to express even find "errors" or details you'll want to correct. 

With time and taking different themes, you can open yourself to the mechanics, and see that writing poems will gradually become more natural.
