Instruction manual
1
Start by exploring the most common syllabonic tonic system of versification. The dimensions of this system are: dicotyledonous iambic and trochee, tripartite anapaest, amphibrachium and dactyl. The first, iambic, is built on this principle: the first syllable is unstressed, the second stressed. A series of stressed and adjoining unstressed syllables is called a foot.
There can be three to five stops in a line. Example:
"Frost and sun, wonderful day, Still dozing, adorable friend
.(A. Pushkin)
Compose 12-20 lines in this size.
2
The second size - the trochee - is built on the opposite principle: shock-unstressed. Example:
"Cuckoo sleeps on a tree
Cancer under a stone sees a dream
(D. Hans)
The number of syllable pairs usually also varies from three to five. Compose 12-20 lines in this size.
3
The first three-part size is dactyl: shock, two unstressed (the foot consists of three syllables). Example:
"Glory to you, hopeless pain!
The gray-eyed king died yesterday …"
(A. Akhmatova)
The number of feet is usually 3-5. Compose and in this size a small work.
4
Amphibrachium is a three-step size, built according to the scheme: unstressed - shock - unstressed.
"The mermaid was floating on the blue river …"
(M. Lermontov)
Make 12-20 lines in this size, using 3-5 stop in each line.
5
The last size of this system is anapest. Foot structure: two unstressed - shock. Example:
"You will wake me at dawn, you will spend the neobhodnaya …"
(A. Voznesensky)
Compose 12-20 lines in this size, the number of stops per line 3-5.
6
Rhyme, that is, the end of a line, is of four kinds. Male - when the line ends with the stressed syllable. Female - when the line ends on the first (after the stressed) unstressed syllable. Dactylic - on the second (after the stressed) unstressed syllable. Hyperdactyl - on the third unstressed. The first two species are the most common. Analyze the verses already written and determine where which rhyme is used. If a view is missing, write a poem using it.
7
Three main rhyming methods: Doubles. In the form of a scheme, you can imagine this:
A
A
B
B
Cross:
A
B
A

Tinea:

Analyze already written verses and determine where which rhyme is used. If any option is missing, write in it.
Useful advice
Do not be afraid of experiments. Do not limit yourself only to the listed methods, break the rules, follow only one goal - to express your thought. It should be bright and catch the reader, because from the sea of poetic waste paper he should choose exactly your work and call it perfect.
