Hey there. Hasn't it been the longest of time since... since... well, since something happened in here.

Basically it's a new year there for something has to happen.

Okay.

This sticky belongs to any and all techniques for the poet and his or her poetry. I will be adding a few tech.s for all to try and feel free to add your own stuff. In other words, a reference and learning process. Feel free to add anything from basic to advance tech.s.

Happy writing.

Haikus: First I would like to explain what it is just incase sombody doesen't know. A haiku is a poem, with five syllables on the first line, seven on the second, and then five again on the last. Or, anything with the total of 17 syllables. Example.

Writing a haiku.
It is a very simple task.
It takes simplicity.

Or a long 17 syllable statement like this.

In this life, we will only get one chance to decide. Chose while you stlil can.

Rhyming poems:
These are the hardest for me. If you are stuck go to a rhyming page. IF you want a challenge, rhyme for youself. Usually I rhyme each line like this

This scentence rhymes with the second one.
After this line, the poem is done.

Or every other scentence.

This scentenec rhymes with the third one.
This scentenec is out of place.
This scentence comes after the second's done.
And this one will finish the race.

Or where one line doesent rime

This scentence rhymes with the third one.
This scentence doesent rhyme.
This scentence comes after the seconds done.
This scentence also doesnt rhyme much.


Now these are really sucky poems, but they are just examples. Later on I'll edit in good ones.

Beat poetry: Beat poetry is less about style and more about the message.
Its really fun to do.
Watch

Poems are great
They speak to my heart
My mind is let free
and now I can see
Other people laugh
They hate my free verse
But what they don't know
denial is worse.


Anything will work. Just make it short. Not hte whole thing. but each line must be very short. Also make it snappy. Get to the point quickly.

Or, you could also rhyme within a line, it simply isn't that hard. I find it the easiest, but not yet once have I posted a poem like that of mine here... maybe I will sometime.

Anyways here's an example on rhyming within a line.

These attempts are very fruitless
We are far from achieving our goals
As every day comes to an end
Many are torn away from their lives
But as they die, another is born
Doomed to the tragic mortal fate.

Rhymes are in bold, I know that the rhythm isn't all that good, but, hey, I'm working on it.
