Finishing a poem is diligent,
sometimes
even challenging.
First, you need a suitable topic.
Jotting down a list of ideas,
But none of them you see potential.
You want something simple and interests you,
Yet deep enough so that you sound smart.
You think about the dictions.
The Connotation and the Denotation.
The perception and the definition.
How do you create the right tone for the poem?
It is the feeling you want.
The feeling you like.
Consider the structure
Some enjambment,
Stanzas, or line breaks.
You add
too many pauses,
Readers become
confused.
You add too little pauses it becomes a run-on poem.
They say that
Sometimes, we love the sound;
other times,
we try to avoid the sound because it’s unpleasant.
Repetition, repetition, and repetition
An assonance and an alliteration,
It is also nice to sometimes,
Have some nonsense rhymes.
Coming up with a poem
Is like building a sophisticated spaceship.
Every part is cleverly thought through.
Every part is precisely constructed.
Every part has to be perfect.
But once finished,
It can soar into the sky
Without any limits.
Finally, you finish a decent poem.
Change a few words and
Add some line breaks.
So that it looks more than decent.
Robert Frost says that
“A poem begins as a lump in the throat,
a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness."
I say that a poem begins with realizing
that the poem is due tomorrow.

Don’t worry,
All you need is 50 lines.
This poem is great because it is very creative and touches on aspects that aren't talked about or explicitly addressed. It accurately describes what it means to write a poem and I think that people in this class can relate to it. My favorite line is, "You add too little pauses it becomes a run-on poem" because it is definitely something that crosses my mine when I am trying to write a poem.
