Any natural, man-made or man-made phenomenon can be a source of inspiration and a reason for reflection. In each season, there is an allegory to the most important issues that humanity is struggling with. Including winter can be the topic of a poetic work of a philosophical, love or any other genre, depending on your intention.
Instruction manual
1
Start your poem with a walk. The route does not matter: you can walk through the streets or through the park, among a large number of people or in complete seclusion. The choice of route, in general, depends only on the mood of the poem.
2
Look carefully around you. Mentally call with words and phrases everything that surrounds you. Find unusual epithets for visible objects, people, and phenomena. Remember everything: colors, smells, sounds, actions, motives. Gather information for a future poem.
3
At the end of the walk, take a position in which you are especially comfortable writing. For some, this is a secluded personal account, for some, a family evening at tea, for someone, something else. There is no universal recipe; you must know your own character and inclinations yourself.
4
Write in your notebook all the impressions of the walk. Write each thought on a separate line, it is advisable to leave some more space between them. Later you fill in the blanks with additional thoughts.
It is best to record thoughts on a U-turn: on the left page, simply list what you saw and heard, and leave the right one free. Later on the right page you write down the poetic lines.
5
Rhyme your thoughts. Use concise phrases and sentences that contain a large amount of information in a small set of sounds and syllables. Cross out lines that seem unsuccessful, in their place write new, revised ones.
6
After twenty or forty work, write the finished poem on a separate sheet or in a computer. Read it, preferably out loud. Make additional corrections. The poem is ready.
