Liar said:
Here's how I tend to do it. Not that it is right or wrong, but it's one way.

I write the stuff straight out of my head. THen I read it out loud, and put single line breaks where I naturlly put a small pause in my reading. At new phrases, often at commas in the text. I put double line breaks where I have longer pauses, like at periods.

So the paragraph above would look like this if I had written it as a poem:

I write the stuff
straight out of my head.

Then I read it out loud,
and put single line breaks
where I naturlly put
a small pause
in my reading.

At new phrases,
often at commas in the text.

I put double line breaks
where I have longer pauses,

like at periods.


Some poets like it this way, others write long lines. There are no rights and wrongs here, just an ambition to try new and different things, feel them out for yourself, taste them on your tongue, and incorporate those that suits you into your toolbox.

Wow. I didn't know that was what the purpose of what the breaks were supposed to do. I've always set the breaks to give points of impact and thoughts to stand out. Here's an example of what I've used breaks for (coloring the thoughts that I wanted to impact stronger):

It sat there for years and years
Otherwise inanimate.
As I stare at it now
The picture, small and dated
Explodes and impales me
With life.
Her face splashed with joy
Whose lips turned crooked
Concealing anger and constant pain
As slyly as it appears.
If only I could again once
See that smirk
On my mother’s face.


Perhaps, Liar, you could show me how you would break this so I can see the difference? Please?
 
Hi ,
Well thanks for the good review of my poem on this thread .It was just something i wrote to amuse myself lol .I have been looking for somewhere to work on my writing , which is not limited to christmas poems and dirty limeriks by the way .(But arent they fun ).I love the site and hope to be around here haunting corridors a bit longer .What has really amazed me is the writer support .It's really a great surprise to find that , and you all have my appreciation .Hopefully my more serious stuff will be met with approval also , but even if its not I'm sure it will atleast be met with a little constructive critacism .welcome to my weird life , and a big thanks to all for welcoming me into yours.

I took the liberty of removing some words that I saw as superfluous. You can edit your text as you would prefer though. I just wanted to illustrate how I would break it.

Okay, I get the word removal. I guess I'm going to have to compare again. You broke down the poem and set it in stanzas. Would you explain why you broke it the way you broke it?
Are the stanzas like thoughts? That's the way I'm reading them. Of course, I would have never seen them separately like that. It's amazing. You turned my single thought into a faceted poem.

...and I thought it was good as is...

:( :eek:

1. This strophe introduces the subject. I chose to double break here because of your emphasis line.

2. Now, the focus shifts to the picture, what it is, what happens when you see it. Your emphasis, again, decided the double line break.

3. The face, the smile. This so important to your poem that it needed to stand alone. Without the pain and anger the smile isn't a smirk, just a mere water colour of the vivid acrylics of real life.

4. Your ending strophe is the impression you want the reader to carry with them after they've finished reading, make it the most important in your poem and it holds the emotion and keeps your poetry in their thoughts long after the reading is done.

Gina, you wrote this poem in strophes, you just didn't break it into them. Look at the blue in your solid version again. See where you decided to break it up? In the future, maybe, you can colour your important lines like that and then insert double breaks like I did. You may surprise yourself.

Now, my ride is here and I must go. Take care!
 
A Poem Academy~

Encouragement Inspiration and LEARN
ABOUT POETRY !!!

I've said this from day one and that's why
the thread got started, to "encourage"
new poets, most know already but for the
"RECORD" I have the worst grammer of anyone
and no nothing of punctuation, have never
hidden the fact I know absolutly nothing
about writing...

That's why it's a learning thread!!!

second: my comments were.."Superficial"
My comments are encouraging...I like to
think that some people build things while
others tear them down!
I haven't read to much I truely disliked and then
I leave no comment at all..."Sorry" thats me~

I believe in the yin and the yang in everything
and I except negative feedback and I can't please
everyone, I have compassion for ignorance ...
well because I'm ignornat number #1 student
at "A Poem Academy"...grin~

onward~

RE:
Why must I go for hours
And sometimes days
Without being touched?
Then it seems the fondling
Never stops.

Hot, cold, and other times
Warm, sticky, greasy or grimy,
Feeling abused
And sometimes used
By these hands

I really like the image you presented here.. you can feel the cold then the hot.. the lonely skin craving for touch then being overwhelmed by non stop use. Being used in every way possible. The on and off.. of relationships.. I am sorry but it came over as a selfish lover... one whom did not take the time to explore and listen to your body...this poem actually hurt my skin..this means it was good girl...

Du Lac, my darling! Thank you!

I think you missed a few lines ;)

Why must I go for hours
And sometimes days
Without being touched?
Then it seems the fondling
Never stops.

Hot, cold, and other times
Warm, sticky, greasy or grimy,
Feeling abused
And sometimes used
By these hands.

It’s haunting.

Sliding up and down
My shaft,
Never knowing
If it’s going to be
Gentle, rough,
Fast or slow.

I don't like it aggressive,
And I don't need to be
Replaced
Because I kind of like
My place,
But please be careful with me
As I take a few days rest.


I need to put a sign up that says,
"Give the handrail a break!" :eek:

It's the life of a handrail. Too bad they can't speak, eh? LMAO!!
 
howdy...

new stars are flickering while annora had
three poems burst out at once...

this one was powerfully moving...

A Farewell to a soldier : by Annora


touching read, but her other poem about an "ER"
is a spot light on reality~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Teardrop : by irishcatsameow

CLIP:
This poem was written by Lostandfounder and irishcatsmeow; each writing a line a day and passing the work in progress back and forth through email. L&F wrote the odd numbered lines and irish the even; neither knowing where the poem would go or when it would end. After a final edit by both and a title by L&F, we deemed the poem finished.

This is an interesting writing experience ...try it with a fellow poet. Sounds like an idea for a Poetry Challenge.
