Many tried to write poetry. Especially in his youth. Especially about love. And if then disappointment came, and it seems that there is no love at all, and so I want to express my feelings.
Writing style
Before you start creating a poem, it is worth considering what style it will be written in. Perhaps it will be elegiac regrets about the impossibility of such a feeling as love. Or maybe the poem will be full of irony and ridicule for those who “believe in love”, although their faith has no reason, and the feelings they experience cannot be called love? The further choice of the form of the poem and, of course, its content depends on the general author’s mood.
Poem form
You can turn to the classical form of versification and put your thoughts in rhymed lines. As a rule, the two-part or three-part sizes of verses are most often used.
The two-part (consisting of 2 syllables) sizes include:
- Chorea (emphasis on the first syllable):
"Through the wavy mists
The moon is sneaking
To the sad glades
She pours sadly light. "(A. Pushkin)
- Yamb (accent on the second syllable):
"I know - the city will be, I know the garden is blooming
When are such people
There is a Soviet country. "(V. Mayakovsky)
The three-part (consisting of 3 syllables) include:
- Dactyl (accent on the first syllable, 2 subsequent - unstressed):
"Nice autumn! Healthy, vigorous!
Air tired forces invigorate;
Ice weak on the river
As if melting sugar lies. "(N. A. Nekrasov)
- Amphibrachium (emphasis on the 2nd syllable, 1st and 3rd syllables - unstressed):
"Once upon a time in the cold winter time
I left the forest; there was a severe frost
I look, it rises slowly uphill
A horse carrying a carriage of brushwood. "(N.A. Nekrasov)
- Anapest (emphasis on the 3rd syllable, the first two syllables are unstressed)
"I won’t tell you anything
I don’t worry you at all
And that I silently endure
I will not dare to hint for anything. "(A. Fet)
If you want to avoid difficulties with rhyme, then you can choose a more free form that does not require rhyming lines:
- White verse: in this form there is a poetic size, but no rhyme:
"Everyone says: there is no truth on earth.
But there is no truth above. For me
So it’s clear, like a simple gamma.
I was born with a love of art
."(A. Pushkin)
- Verliber is the loosest form of a verse in which a rhythmic pattern is not followed and rhymes are not present:
"I love a lot that is close to my heart, Only rarely do I love
More often than not, I’m pleased to glide over the bay, So - forgetting yourself
Under the sonorous measure of the oar, Soaked in effervescent foam, -
Yes, look, I’ve left a lot
And there’s a lot left
But can you see the lightning
"(A.Fet)
- A poem in prose is an intermediate “stage” between a poetic and prose speech. We can say that in form it is prose, and in content it is poetry, for example:
"The blue mountains of the Caucasus, I salute you! You cherished my childhood; you carried me on your wild ridges, dressed me in clouds, you accustomed me to the sky, and from that time on I have been dreaming of you and the sky. Thrones of nature, from which both thunderclouds fly away, who, just at your summits, prays to the creator, he despises life, although at that moment he was proud of it!.. "(M. Lermontov)
It is better for a person who is not sophisticated in versification to begin with more free forms - a poem in prose or a white verse, and for a more experienced poet it is not a sin to experiment with rhymes. It should only be remembered that bipartite dimensions are perceived as more “dynamic”, especially with respect to iambic, and three-part sizes are perceived as more “slow” and “lyrical”.
